Great question. Thanks for bringing it up.
I'm mostly looking for lettuce salad dressings, but if anyone has dressings for simple veggie salads that I could make during the week (heavy on the "simple"), that would be great too. Thanks!

for simple delicious salad dressings use:

1 Tbsp vinegar or lemon juice
2 Tbsp olive oil
1-2 cloves garlic crushed OR red onion sliced in salad
salt to taste

Pour over salad. Mix very well.

Use a variety of vinegars and choose one each day such as: red wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice...
So yummy!

the spice and spirit cookbook (the purple one) has some great ones. I just made their french dressing over shabbos and it came out really good.

this is my friend's recipe, and I absolutely love it:
1/4 c oil
a little less then 1/4 c of vinegar
4 heaping spoons of sugar
4 heaping spoons of mayonaise

mix well, I usually use a blender, and let sit in the fridge for a few hours.

you can play around with the taste, more sweet, more vinegary... etc.

good luck

This is a great salad:

slice:
cucumber
zucchini
carrot
onion
radish (optional)
garlic

in a pot add:
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup vinegar
1/2 cup water
sugar to taste
I alternate between using dill & basil/oregano, paprika, that sort of thing

bring to a boil. Pour over vegetables and let stand to marinate. Best if made ahead so vegetables can pickle.

Also great on a lettuce salad, I usually just spoon the pickled veggies onto the lettuce and get the dressing that way.

I just got this recipe and it has become our new favorite:

1/2 cup mayo - low fat
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup oil
1 1/2 tsp crushed garlic
1 tsp. lemon juice

You can make this on any salad - lettuce, peppers, chich peas, carrots, sliced turkey - it goes well with everything!!

Can I use sugar instead of splenda? Do I need to adjust the amount?
