Here is a collection of 5 tasty, unique and versatile dressings. The amount of dressing you like to use is up to you but these measurements will dress enough salad for 4 to 6 people. Each is skewed a bit more towards the vinegar and not the oil, so you need to experiment with ratios. I don’t like a heavy dressing but you may prefer that. Also,be sure and use a good whisk. Blending all ingredients is vital to the consistency of the dressing.
