A Wardrobe for your Salad

Is your salad dressing always the same (boring) one? Do you use commercial stuff only? (Then you pay too much for it and you probably don't even know what you're swallowing!)
Maybe it's time to think differently about your salad companions...
Below are options of dressings that will make your daily salad interesting and more 'appropriately' dressed. It's always best to use fresh ingredients, but if you don't have them, then dried herbs and powders are OK, just remember to use less than stated.
