English mustard and low/non-fat yoghurt. About 3 parts yoghurt to 1 part mustard mmmm. Goes really well with leftover pork!0

Little bit of olive oil, water, vinegar, salt, pepper, and sometimes I put light honey mustard in there as well. Also love making dressing with greek yogurt (I find a lot of my recipes on yummly!).0

I like a blend of lemon juice and beet juice on my salads -- I just sprinkle them on, but you could mix in batches and add seasoning to make a "real" dressing.0

My go to is simply a tbsp each of olive oil and apple cider vinegar with black pepper0

Either simple:
- olive oil, balsamic vinegar (the good stuff), pepper, salt and a herb mix (rosemary, thyme, basil)
- pumpkin seed oil (the good stuff) with a mild vinegar
or a bit more complicated,
- olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, sweet mustard, salt, pepper and a herb mix (rosemary, thyme, basil)0 -
Squeeze some juice off a ripe mango, add lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper.
Herb infused oils are my favorite. I use olive oil, but canola oil will work fine too. In a glass jar, pour 1 cup of olive oil over 4 garlic cloves (quartered) and a sprig of rosemary. Heat in microwave on 30% power for 2 min. The idea is to warm the oil, not fry the herbs. Cover, herbs and all, and let sit overnight.
You can use this paired with vinegar or lemon juice for a salad dressing, you can also use it to coat your veggies before roasting.
You can use herbs other than garlic or rosemary, but this is my favorite.0 -
Great ideas.0

I make all my own dressings and rarely buy or use pre-made. When I do, though, I really like Bolthouse Yogurt dressings in the veggie aisle.
I make mine "french style" by pouring my ingredients in the bottom of my salad bowl, whisking and then adding my salad greens. Saves a dish and I think it covers better from the bottom. My stand-by is balsamic (trader joes moderno), EVOO, crushed garlic and salt and pepper. I also add blue cheese crumbles to that and walnuts, or I add shaved parm. You can also add mustard, use fruit vinegar, add fruit, etc. I also buy all my Romaine at Trader Joes in the three pack - organic for 2.99. Last a really long time in the frig.0 -
