Here are some recipes for you.

Creamy Italian
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 clove garlic, chopped

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice, oil, water, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, sugar and garlic until evenly combined.
2. Chill before serving.

Thousand Island

½ C Mayonnaise
2 Tbsp. Ketchup
1 Tbsp. White Vinegar
2 Tsp. Sugar
2 Tsp. Sweet Pickle Relish
1 Tsp. White Onion, Finely Minced
⅛ Tsp. Salt
1 Dash Black Pepper

Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and stir well.
Cover and refrigerate for several hours, stirring occasionally so the sugar dissolves and flavor blends.

Ranch Dressing Mix

5 Tablespoons dried minced onions
7 teaspoon parsley flakes
4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Mix together and store in an air tight container.

For dressing: Mix 2 Tablespoons dry mix with 1 cup mayonnaise (I use Hain Safflower mayo) and 1 cup buttermilk or sour cream. (I use buttermilk.)

For dip: Mix 2 Tablespoons dry mix with 2 cups sour cream or kreme fresh.
Mix up a few hours before serving, so the flavors all blend nicely.

I have more if you'd like some.

I have seen a lot of TV chefs say a dressing should be 3 part oil and 1 part vinegar. To cut back on the oil. I found sweet vinegar like red balsamic or white balsamic you can use equal parts. But tart vinegar like white vinegar or red wine vinegar are better 2 parts oil and 1 part vinegar. Rice vinegar and apple cider vinegar are somewhere in between I usually go by taste. Honestly sometimes I will use balsamic and rice vinegars just by themselves.

I second the balsamic vinegar by itself, it's the way I do it and it tastes just fine.

You guys are all so inspiring! I like lime juice in my dressings. This recipe is 1/2 oil, 1/2 lime juice.
