MAGGIE'S HOUSE DRESSING
I have two versions of what we call our House Dressing that I use for salads. I have been using the first version (the original) for over 40 years, and the second version for about 5. Everyone that has eaten my salads, loves either version, and more people than I can remember asked for the recipe. It is so simple and basic, yet it tastes great. Most of my guests always ask me to use my house dressing as opposed to bottled salad dressings. I never measure, so I will have to estimate, but I would suggest you go with the smaller amounts first, then taste and adjust, if necessary. Of course, the amount will have to be adjusted according to the size of the salad.

ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS GREEK/HOUSE DRESSING
This is the 'secret' Greek dressing recipe from the pizzeria that I work at. The recipe makes almost a gallon but can be scaled down easily. It can be used for picnics and travels very well, since it doesn't need to be refrigerated. This is the best dressing I have ever tasted, people offer to buy it constantly, but if we sold it we wouldn't be able to make enough to use in the restaurant!

Tips:
- Use low-calorie, high-volume ingredients: This will help you create a dressing that is filling and satisfying without being high in calories. Good choices include nonfat yogurt, vinegar, water, and herbs.
- Add some healthy fats: Healthy fats, such as those found in olive oil and avocado oil, can help you feel full and satisfied after eating. They can also help your body absorb fat-soluble vitamins, such as vitamins A, D, and E.
- Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices can add a lot of flavor to your dressing without adding any calories. They can also help to boost your metabolism.
- Make your own dressing instead of buying it pre-made: Pre-made dressings are often high in calories, sugar, and unhealthy fats. By making your own dressing, you can control the ingredients and make sure it is healthy and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Volumetric dressings are a great way to add flavor and nutrition to your meals without adding a lot of calories. By following these tips, you can make your own delicious and healthy volumetric dressings at home.
