MY FAVORITE OIL AND VINEGAR DRESSING
Excellent on a salad topped with blue cheese, dried cranberries, mandarin oranges and pecans but good on any green salad. I have made it with Splenda and even though it isn't quite as good IMHO, it is still a nice dressing. (The servings amount is a guess)

Tips:
- Use a good quality olive oil: The olive oil is the base of the dressing, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for an extra virgin olive oil that is fruity and flavorful.
- Use a variety of vinegars: You can use any type of vinegar you like, but a combination of white wine vinegar and red wine vinegar is a classic choice. You can also try balsamic vinegar, apple cider vinegar, or rice vinegar.
- Add some herbs and spices: Herbs and spices can add a lot of flavor to your dressing. Some popular choices include basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, garlic, and pepper.
- Use a little bit of honey or sugar: A little bit of honey or sugar can help to balance out the acidity of the vinegar. You can also use a flavored honey, such as orange blossom honey or lavender honey.
- Let the dressing sit for a while: Letting the dressing sit for a while allows the flavors to meld together. You can make the dressing ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week.
