I love making my own salad dressing and I really like this recipe since I can make such limited quantities or different dressing. I made the citrus option and served it with a spinach/mandarin orange salad. It had just the perfect amount of sweet and tart. I will hold on to this recipe and try some of the other options. Made for Aussie Swap.

We never buy salad dressings and I've been making my own for years. I chose<br/>the Citrus Dressing to go with our Spanish main dish of pasta w/romesco sauce. We enjoyed the combination of orange juice and brown mustard. Used for a simple salad consisting of baby spinach, carrots, radishes, Spanish stuffed olives and cucumbers.

Creamy Dressing:<br/>Wonderful dressing to serve with salad.<br/>Pat this is just so simple to make, and so fantastic to serve on a hot night over your favourite salad.<br/>I followed the recipe to a tee and it was just what was needed, the whole family tried it and loved it.<br/>Thanks Pat.<br/><br/>Citrus Dressing ~ Lovely , so quick and easy to make and tastes sweet with a hint of a tang.<br/>Not too much oil in it either, which we loved. Thanks Pat.

Great homemade dressing!!! I made the creamy version and had to make one change as I only had the full fat mayonnaise, but otherwise followed as written. I really enjoyed this creamy/citrus dressing. I add some garlic powder and sea salt for my tastes and it was just delicious. Thanks for sharing the recipes, I hope to try the other 3 as well in the future. Made for 123 Tag Game.
