I love a quick salad.
I have a favorite, super quick and easy (and very tasty) dressing recipe and would love to hear yours. Here's mine:
In the bottom of a salad bowl I put about 2 tablespoons of hummus (I like garlic or red roasted pepper), a splash of virgin olive oil, the squeeze of one lime, a couple squirts of honey mustard, a spoonful of relish, and salt and pepper. Stir. Add in your salad stuff and mix.

Equal parts nut oil (walnut, hazelnut or sesame), soy sauce, balsamic vinegar.6

I grow lots of fresh herbs - once a week or so I use a few bunches of whatever grows best, take onion, red peppers, pickled cucumbers - sometimes a bit of chilies - or garlic - or ginger - or lemon zest - or whatever comes to my mind - and chop it roughly in the food processor with some vinegar: apple or red or white or rice vinegar or aged vinegar. Fill up in a glass jar and store in fridge. Use this as a base with plain yoghurt or mustard or cottage cheese or fresh vegetable juice or just as it is. Easy - peasy.3

I do a little evoo. Red wine vinegar and salt and pepper. I’m going to try some of these.3

I'm a fan of simple and fresh. The juice of one lemon, 1 T EVOO, 1T any fresh herb if I have it or 1t dried oregano if I don't, salt and pepper. My salad usually includes fresh tomatoes and feta cheese. When this dressing combines with the juice of the tomatoes and the feta, it becomes so creamy and wonderful.3

A tip I implemented from the Food Lab cookbook cuts down work making salad. Make a few weeks worth of various dressings and store them in squeezy bottles in the fridge where you just need to shake and squirt. No need to dirty a spoon or make salad dressing from scratch every night. For dressings that contain solid bits such as sesame seeds you might need to enlarge the pouring hole of by slicing the tip of the nozzle down with a stanley knife.

This is the simple Indonesian Lalab dressing I keep in the fridge to throw together a tomato side salad to go with Asian food. I leave out the oil.

This is similar to Cambodian lime and pepper sauce.

When you have this on salad, it is often known as one of Indonesia's national dishes, gado gado.

Thank you, acpgee! I didn't know that! A trip to Indonesia is in order then.1

Love this thread! My go-to is olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, minced garlic and typically whatever green herb I have on hand (parsley, basil, chives, sometimes even dill). Goes very well with feta and fresh mozzarella (and any veggie mix). My daughter likes to make it and "dip" her greens in it.1

Simple, greek yogurt and a packet of ranch dressing. Some almond milk to thin it.2

My go to is a packet of Good Seasons italian dressing made with balsamic vinegar (2 extra tablespoons) and flax seed oil.1
