I have so many, but these are the ones I probably use most:
walnut vinaigrette with walnut oil, walnut mustard, sherry vinegar, minced garlic & shallot, s&p
creamy herb dressing: neutral oil like avocado or safflower, lemon juice or vinegar or a mix, minced garlic & shallot, fresh herbs like parsley, dill, chives, sour cream or crème fraîche
ranch: Duke’s, WWV, s&p, minced garlic & shallot, fresh herbs like parsley, dill, chives
Greek salad dressing: olive oil, s&p, oregano
olive oil, soy sauce & balsamic vinegar for avocado, celery, tomato, mozzarella salad
Caesar: raw egg, lemon, TPSTOG, mustard, olive oil, parm, s&p

Any ideas for ingredients? Vinegar alternatives?
Thanks
