1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup ketchup
1 Tbs red wine vinegar (or lemon juice)
1 dash of dry mustard powder
1 Tbs minced fresh onion

Green Goddess Dressing without the Anchovies

1/4 cup dried parsley
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup sour cream
the green tops of 4 green onions, about 4" is what I used
2 Tbs wine vinegar
1/4 tsp dried tarragon
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp sugar

Blend until smooth and chill until serving time.

Asian Insipired Salad Dressings

Very Simple Asian Influenced Dressing

The sesame oil and rice vinegar give this an Asian influence.

3 Tbs rice vinegar
1 tsp brown sugar
1 Tbs sesame oil
salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

This obviously makes just a small amount! If you want more to store in the refrigerator, follow the 3:1 ratio of rice vinegar and sesame oil, then add brown sugar to taste along with salt and pepper.
Mix together and toss with the salad greens and ingredients of your choice. A little chopped cilantro makes a great addition to a salad.

1 Tbs sesame oil
2 Tbs rice vinegar
1 chili paste
1 Tbs brown sugar
1 Tbs olive oil

Mixed all together and serve.
