Default Salad dressings

I love making homemade salad dressings. I think they taste absolutely fabulous and so easy to do. Plus tonight I can have greek vinaigrette, tomorrow I can have blue cheese, the next day I can have ranch and the day after that I can have italian without having four separate bottles of dressing in my fridge that I can't use up fast enough. I've found the easiest way for me to make dressings is just to dress the salad right in the serving bowl. For vinaigrette type dressings, I just add the ingredients right on top of the salad and then toss well. For creamy or emulsified dressings, I mix them in the bottom of the salad bowl and then put salad fixings on top and toss well. Easy, peasy.

Here are some of my favorites:

Greek: fresh squeezed lemon, olive oil, salt, granulated garlic, granulated onion, dried oregano

Red wine italian: red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, granulated garlic, granulated onion, dried oregano and a heavy sprinkling of parmesan cheese

Balsamic: balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt (I usually serve this on a salad with dried cranberries or dried cherries for a sweet factor).

Ranch: equal parts mayo and buttermilk, granulated garlic, granulated onion, seasoned salt, parsley

Ranch versions: bacon ranch add bacon, peppercorn ranch add cracked pepper, parmesan ranch add parmesan cheese

White wine: white wine vinegar, olive oil, squeeze of dijon mustard, salt, pepper, oregano, granulated garlic, granulated onion

It really just takes I would guess less than 1/4 cup of dressing to dress a large salad bowl full of salad. And I can make a new one each night which makes me so very happy.

So what dressings do you like to make?
