There is no salad dressing in Mexico.Well, not much. You may find some in high-end establishments. But the overwhelming majority of regular restaurants serve your "salad" dry.
You are expected to squeeze lime juice on it and be happy. I´m not.

Well . . . think of the calories we you save!
Hmmmm.... this must be a non-Chilango thing. Everywhere I eat in Mexico City, the salads are appropriately dressed.
Maybe you need a small hip flask with oil and vinegar. Or perhaps a touch of green goddess?

LOL... I find it very amusing to be categorized in the "hoity-toity class." LOL....
But the truth in that is that I tend to eat in fairly nice places when abroad, though at this very moment, home in Boston, I am eating boxed macaroni and cheese.
But I still think you should consider the hip flask idea.
Do you think the restaurants you patronize would want a corkage fee?

( I realize that this is in response to a very old blog posting.)
Mistongo Restaurante on C/ Doctor Coss in Pátzcuaro served us a rather thick, mustardy dressing once. (No me gustó.)
Mamá Lupe's on C/ Benito Mendoza has a dark and tasty dresssing for its mini-salads, served as first course in an inexpensive comida corrida.
Felipe: you mean that you can't get salad dressing at La Surtidora or at the Gran Hotel Cafe?
I bet you don't eat at either one.

PS: But mayonesa rules. That, and hot dogs.
Mike, I am not suggesting that salad dressings are never seen in Mexican restaurants. However, few serve it, as you know. It´s more of a rarity than not. It´s nice to see it when it does show up.
I have not eaten at the Gran Hotel since my first year here, and we eat at Surtidora on rare occasion, but it´s almost exclusively breakfast.
Plus, Mike, this is not really a blog. It changes rarely. I simply let the nice people at blogger.com supply me with a pretty and FREE website. Can´t beat it.
