Alternatives to olive oil? page

[Tahl]

I'm looking for alternatives to olive oil for things like salads, where the taste really stands out, because I really just do not like the taste of olive oil. Any suggestions?

I really like avocado oil. You may like some of the nut oils too. A drizzle of walnut oil on salad is very flavorful.

ETA: I keep my nut oils in the fridge as they can go rancid (like all nut products).

some filtered and *slightly* warmed (just to keep it liquid) bacon fat? I always like its flavor : )

I second walnut oil and bacon fat.

Another thought on the olive oil: You may like the extra light or even regular olive oil rather than EVOO which has a strong flavor.

A nut oil without the heavy load of polyunsaturated fat is macadamia nut oil, which is mostly monounsaturated.

I'll add my vote for avocado oil. I find it luscious.

I didn't know this existed but it may just have changed my life. Can you cook with it or is it just good for salads?

Apparently it's quite stable to cook with.

I make mayo from it, which makes a terrific base for creamy salad dressings.

I'm salivating. I want avocado infused mayo injected into my bloodstream right now!
