White Truffle Salad Dressing

• 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1 tsp mustard
• 1 tsp white truffle flavored olive oil
• salt and pepper to taste

The white truffle flavored olive oil will bring a lot of flavor to this salad dressing.  Other ingredients can do the same for your homemade salad dressings.  Sometimes, spending a little bit more on a specialty gourmet ingredient will go along way in your recipes.

Shallot Vinaigrette

• one shallot, minced
• 1 tsp honey
• 1 tsp mustard
• 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
• salt and pepper

The shallots in this recipe will bring a strong flavor to this vinaigrette, but it is milder than a white, yellow or red onion.  To soften the flavor further, either add more honey or add some mild mustard.

Cilantro Lime Salad Dressing

• 1/2 cup of fresh cilantro leaves
• juice of one lime, freshly squeezed
• 1 tsp to 1 tbsp of honey
• 1 tsp dijon mustard
• salt and pepper to taste

The star of this salad dressing is the fresh cilantro.  The fresh flavor of the cilantro will burst through.  The lime juice helps keep the cilantro bright and green, plus adds to the fresh flavor of the dressing.  For a sweeter salad dressing, add more honey to taste.

Honey Mustard Salad Dressing

• 1 tbsp mustard (I used a chipotle mustard.)
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp oil

Honey Mustard dressings are great, because they combine slightly spicy flavors with slightly sweet flavor.  The combination is great on many types of foods.
