I much prefer my own vinaigrettes / dressings.

No idea! I only see the recipes from them that show up here, for the most part. 
Yes , they did.
Pasta salad.
Grilled peppers/zucchini/eggplant, hot Italian sausage, last of the leftover rotisserie chicken, pickled red onions, diced tomato, roasted garlic and oil, lots of Parm/Regg and a splash of red wine vinegar on a bed of romaine lettuce.
Pretty much all of the prep was done yesterday, and all I had to do was put it together and dress it this morning.

I love that recipe, try to remember to make it a couple of times a year, usually with RG alubias blancas. Thanks for the reminder!

Which one is it that you and @linguafood didn’t like? The house dressing? 2 strikes (from people I feel like I have a pretty good idea of their palates) are sufficient for me to avoid a recipe!

Lunch today was a celery and radish salad with casaveltrano olives and parm shards. Dressed with oo and lemon juice. There has been amazing celery at the farmers market- dark green, lots of leaves - and this salad is the perfect way to use it! Slightly overcooked hard boiled egg on the side.

Maybe it was a case of overblown expectations. I mean… the odes to that dressing and the salad itself alone made me think this was going to be the shiznit.
It was truly just ok. I do add a tsp of water to my vinaigrettes now, and find that it smooths / rounds out the flavor. Other than that? Eh.
ETA: Sorry, the Via Carota clone or whatever it was. I haven’t tried the others, although I am intrigued by the lemon miso dressing. I have a bunch of white miso in the fridge, and I love lemon.

Yes it was the house dressing, which is identical to the Via Carota recipe. I can’t remember now what it was I didn’t like about it, but I remember I tried to fix it and nothing worked.

I’m happy with my own vinaigrettes so no need to try something no one here was gushing about! I’ll likely try te miso dressing. Seems right up my alley.

More dressing ideas:
TBH seeing the word “healthy” in the context of a recipe or a menu item scares me. I’ve always done “healthy” pretty well just on common sense. But that’s just me., YMMV. 
My guess is using “unhealthy” instead might result in fewer hits.
And the Mediterranean diet is known to be So Healthy 
I did the HO half sour pickle challenge so, yada-yada-yada and I made this half sour pickle salad.
It’s good, and supposed to keep a week!
