SWISS BASIC SALAD DRESSING
I found this recipe on site called about.com, which information about Switzerland. It states that: A typical side salad in Switzerland would include some green salad, lettuce, carrots, tomato, cucumber, maybe some corn or beans (white or red). It could also include beetroot or even coleslaw. Some people like to add half an egg or decorate the salad with nuts or pumpkin seeds.

SIMPLE VINAIGRETTE
We followed the standard 3-to-1 oil-to-vinegar ratio for this super simple vinaigrette. For variety, add your favorite dried or chopped fresh herbs. Make a batch at the beginning of the week, and toss a few tablespoons with fresh greens for a quick weeknight salad. But remember that vinaigrette isn't just for salad: You can also use it as a quick sauce for fish or grilled chicken.

BASIC VINAIGRETTE DRESSING WITH 8 VARIATIONS
Bottled salad dressing can be convenient but its expensive and often full of salt, sugar, and chemical additives. Making your own is simple and allows you to customize the seasonings to suit whatever meal you are preparing. The amounts given make about 1/4 cup and can be expanded infinitely for larger salads. It can be made several days ahead and kept in the fridge. Sorry about the slightly odd way of putting the ingredients for the creamy dressing variations. The recipe editor is picky about what it will accept.

Steps:
- Shake all ingredients for your chosen variation together in a tightly-lidded container OR whisk together in a small bowl.
- Let stand 10 minutes to rehydrate dried herbs and blend flavors.
- Shake again then dress salad as desired.
- Note -- I recommend the lemon dressing on spinach.
- Note -- I recommend the Bacon Dressing, Mustard Dressing, and Balsamic Vinaigrette on strong greens such as escarole, curly endive, and dandelion greens.
- Note -- The sweeter version of the mustard dressing is great for a vinegar coleslaw if you discover that you have accidentally gotten one of those occasional cabbages that are a touch on the bitter side.
- Note -- feel free to play with other seasonings, more complex blends, flavored oils, and flavored vinegars. Once you've learned the technique you can customize your salad dressing to suit just about any meal.
Tips:
- Use high-quality olive oil for the best flavor.
- Add a splash of white wine vinegar or lemon juice for a tangy flavor.
- Season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste.
- For a creamy dressing, whisk in some mayonnaise or sour cream.
- To make a vinaigrette, whisk the dressing ingredients together until emulsified.
- Store the dressing in a jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
Swiss salad dressing is a versatile and flavorful dressing that can be used on a variety of salads. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a delicious and healthy salad dressing, give Swiss salad dressing a try!
