Looking for homemade salad dressing recipes

<< < (2/2)

Run Amok:
The typical ratio is 3x oil to acid. But, I like my dressings with more bite so I usually cut the oil in half. I think cracked black pepper, kosher salt, and shallots and maybe garlic at a lot to dressings. Salt is an important balance to the bite of vinegar. Then add your oil (I usually use a really good olive oil that I reserve just for dressing) and your acid (I tend to like red wine vin, lemon, dijon & lemon, or balsamic). A little dijon will help things emulsify-- at least temporarily.

I use something like this as my go-to. I never use honey. Tarragon is a nice addition. https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/creamy-lemon-mustard-vinaigrette

This is a good spicy lime dressing for mexicanish salads. https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/mexican-chopped-salad-with-honey-lime-dressing-230154

Here is a good basic red wine vin. I will add oregano, garlic, & maybe squeeze in half a lemon. https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/red-wine-vinaigrette-106752
