Ok silly question, But how long can salad dressing sit out?

I opened a bottle of Greek vinegerette(sp) and forgot to put it in the fridge, I didn't even use it. I went to get it to make a veggie dish for tomorrow and remembered I had opened it, I'd say at the most it was out was for an hour or 2.

Should I toss the dish or go ahead with it?Ok silly question, But how long can salad dressing sit out?
It's fine. Oil %26amp; vinegar based dressings won't spoil like ones that are mayonnaise based i.e, ranch, thousand island. You don't put your olive oil in the fridge most likely, right? Nor your vinegar/red wine vinegar. I worked in a restraunt a few years ago actually where we had to take a pretty extensive test on food health n' such. Most people don't know that when you pack your hot leftovers in your tupperware you shouldn't put it in the fridge right away. It's going from temperature extremes too quickly, but I can't remember what bacteria specificly it can cause. I guess my other point aside from saying,"it's okay" is that there are so many preservatives in most of our food aside from pasturization n' stuff so it usually has some time b4 you need to worry about most things we eat ppl freak out too much
ive left ranch out over night.. and ate it the next night.. and i didnt die, lol.Ok silly question, But how long can salad dressing sit out?
Usually until it gets bored. Then it goes in the other room and puts on CNN and channel surfs between the commercials.
I have left mine out for DAYS. As long as it isn't dairy based, you should be fine. Vinaigrette doesn't need to be refrigerated. Hope this helps!!!
nope . just put it back in the cold. Vinegar can stay in your cupboard for long and based vinegar products can stay out for couple of hours.
