    I toss my greens in olive oil..just enough to coat about a teaspoon or two….then I add shake or two of red wine vinegar, then three or four of rice vinegar and a squeeze of lemon…toss again with salt and pepper.. it is my go to great dressing. at times I add a tablespoon of blue cheese crumbles.

    it doesn't get much better for me.

    I've been stuck on homemade vinaigrette that's pretty basic. Normally equal parts oil to any type of vinegar, then add onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and a tsp of sugar. I usually add more vinegar than oil to cut down on the fat and I really just like the vinegary taste.
    Thanks for the thread of ideas maybe I'll try something new this week!

    I keep it super simple these days.

    Option #1:
    Just 1/2 Tbsp of balsamic vinegar (usually flavored like lemon, raspberry, pear)

    Option #2 (for when I want fat):
    1/2 Tbsp of balsamic vinegar
    1/2 Tbsp or 1 Tbsp of olive oil or walnut oil

    Option #3
    Mash avocado into the lettuce to coat. Maybe add lemon juice or balsamic vinegar

    And I love all of the above. This isn't a matter of cutting calories or convenience.

    Cucumber & Dill Dressing

    Source: kalofagas.blogspot.com

    Serving: 8

    Ingredients

    1/2 English cucumber
    1/2 cup plain fat free Greek yogurt
    1/4-1/2 cup 2% milk depending on how thick/thin you want your dressing
    2 Tbsp. mayonnaise
    2 tsp. lemon juice
    1 green onion minced
    1 clove of garlic minced
    2 Tbsp. chopped fresh dill
    1/4 tsp. black pepper
    salt to taste

    Directions

    Using your box grater, grate your cucumber into a strainer (with a bowl underneath). Sprinkle some coarse salt over the shreds and allow the water from them to leech for 20 minutes. Squeeze any remaining liquid out of the shreds with your hands and place in a bowl.

    Add the remaining ingredients in to the bowl and stir to incorporate. Adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper. Refrigerate in a tight jar for up to 1 week.

    Serve over greens of your choice.
