Best Answer

For a regular green salad with "standard" dressings (Italian, Russian, Thousand Island, French, etc.): no, not by the waiter/waitress. Only the salad eater knows how much dressing they want. I, for instance, use most of my dressing for my bread. Many restaurants, though offer more exotic, gourmet salad with a carefully selected balance of ingredients, with a dressing that is carefully created with ingredients that complement the salad. In this case, the chef knows exactly how much dressing will overwhelm or over-saturate, and thus will often serve the salad pre-dressed.

Any salad dressing should only be applied immediately before serving otherwise the sald leaves will wilt.

What is dressing in Spanish?

If you mean dressing for salad, this is tough. In Mexico, people just put oil on salad. They say aceite de ensalada for the stuff they put on salad, but that just means salad oil. If the oil has vinegar in it, they'll call it vinagreta (vinagrette for us in the US). When they come to the US and they encounter French, Russian, Ranch, Thousand Island, Creamy Italian and all that other stuff, they freak out and don't know what to call it so they just say dressing, as in Quieres dressing en tu ensalada? (Do you want dressing on your salad) or Quieres que te ponga de esto en tu ensalada? (Do you want me to put some of this on your salad?)


Why is it necessary to shake oil and vinegar salad dressing before adding it to salad?

Oil and vinegar dressing is a temporary emulsion. When the dressing sits for a while the oil and vinegar separate from each other. If you were to put this on the salad it would taste pretty disgusting because it would be entirely oil. So to avoid this, you shake the dressing and then add it to the salad so that the oil and vinegar is combined and it creates a good flavour.
