Different strokes for different folks. I am not a big fan of lettuce
salads and prefer most dressing to be served with minimal dressing. My
wife usually serves salad in a bowl and we add our own. Sometimes I can
get away with adding some dressing and tossing it and then I take my
share. She then adds at least as much dressing as I had used on the rest
of it, so she ends up with 3-4 times as much dressing as I use.

I used to work with a guy who always wanted his dressing on the side.
My preferred dressing is blue cheese and I like a glob of it on top of
the salad and then I dip forkfuls of salad into the dressing as I eat it.
