Vinaigrette and Other Salad Dressings

I like mixing up my own salad dressings, playing with different vinegars or lemon juice, adding fresh or dried herbs.  I just shake up the dressings in a small jar and keep that in the fridge so I can use the leftovers on lunch salads during the week.  Most vinaigrette also makes a great marinade.
