Three Salad Dressings

Clothe your lettuces in something snazzy.

For the somewhat frumpy iceberg at your local salad bar, something structured and embellished.  Combine it with some cheese, olives, or deli meats for the perfect antipasto.

Garlic Dressing: In a bowl, whisk
½ cup Olive Oil
¼ cup Lemon Juice
¼ cup Rosé or White Wine
2 cloves Garlic, finely chopped
½ tsp dried Basil
½ tsp dried Oregano
Pinch of Salt
Pepper to taste

A summer salad of crisp leaves is complemented nicely with creamy feta, tomatoes, cucumbers, and this recipe to top it all off.

Greek Dressing: combine
½ cup Olive Oil
¼ cup Lemon Juice
¼ cup White Wine Vinegar
½ tsp Salt
¼ tsp Pepper
1 tsp Sugar
Pinch of Mint

Simple and elegant baby greens of any variety don't need quite as much effort to get them up to scratch.

French Dressing: mix together
¼ cup Dijon Mustard
¼ cup White Wine Vinegar
½ cup Olive Oil

Happy lettuce (and probably healthier than that radioactive thousand island nonsense as well).
