I like to make my own salad dressing because most of the store-bought stuff has "high fructose corn syrup" or "sugar" as one of the top three ingredients.

If you have a blender, this is easy to make. It's a strong-tasting salad dressing, which means you can use less of it, and it uses olive oil, one of the best oils for you.

Put all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.

2 cups balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh basil
1/4 cup fresh rosemary
1/4 cup fresh thyme

It separates in the fridge, and the olive oil semi-solidifies, so take it out a few minutes before you're going to use it, and shake well. I like to use white balsamic vinegar because then the salad dressing is a nice, green color instead of brown (regular balsamic vinegar is brown). Either way, it's yummy!

If you like ceasar here is mine.
1 whole head of garlic
1 whole lemon (juiced)
equal part olive oil to lemon juice
spices to taste, Worcestershire sauce, salt peper, parmesan cheese and puree.  You may need to add some olive oil but it you have a fast blender you will get the consitency of mayo.

Great dressing if you like garlic.

I also add variants such as tobasco sauce, apple cider vinigar, balsamic vinigar.

Yes there is fat but olive oil is actually one of the best fats for you and will actually REDUCE your bad cholestorol.
