Ingredients

Let’s talk about salad dressing. The one shown above is:<ul><li>1/4c olive oil</li><li>2T red vinegar</li><li>2T lime juice</li><li>2T sour cream</li><li>1/4t basil</li><li>1/4t cilantro</li><li>a dash of white pepper</li></ul>It makes a little more than 1/2c of dressing. More loosely, this can be broken down into:<ul><li>1/4c oil</li><li>2-4T vinegar</li><li>(2T citrus juice, if only 2T vinegar)</li><li>(2T sour cream or mayo, if you want creamy)</li><li>~1/2t dry leaf herbs, where pre-mixed blends are your friend (1/4t if spices or powdered herbs)</li></ul>

Cooking Instructions

Depending on what you pick for each slot, you can get a wide variety of dressings out of the exact same base recipe. The rule of thumb is to put everything in a measuring cup, starting with the thickest or oiliest ingredients and to blend everything else into that, so you don't end up with weird floating lumps.
