Best Salad Dressings

Now I am partial to vinaigrette's, so my bias is showing. Any of these also make a good marinade for grilling. Let me know if you can top them:

Garlic Oil and Vinegar - Thanks John Berlin-Burns

3 crushed cloves garlic
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

Hard to believe that this basic recipe is our family favorite. Crush the garlic in the salt and mix well with the oil and vinegar. Best with red leaf lettuce and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Add a little lemon juice and oregano if you are making a Greek salad.

Dijon Vinaigrette

1/2 cup olive oil
3 tbsp Dijon mustard
1/4 balsamic vinegar

Wisk the mustard with the oil and then add vinegar. This is good on greens but my favorite is mixed on chopped fresh vegetables sprinkled with feta.

Gorgonzola Dressing (Thanks to Harbor View)

1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup Gorgonzola cheese
1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar

The first time I tasted this simple dressing I was sure it had something complicated in it to taste so good. I said "this tastes as good as chocolate cake!" Crumble the Gorgonzola finely in the oil with a fork. Wisk in the vinegar. Delightful on greens with or without garlic croûtons.
