Ok, I’ll admit it.  I like Kraft 1000 Island Lite Salad Dressing.    For whatever reason, by the time I get done making dinner and fluffing the salad, I just can’t seem to pull together a decent homemade salad dressing.    

But they’re so easy!  And so fresh and yummy!  Yes, you’re right, and just for you, I’m going to give it another try this summer.   The proportions of oil to vinegar are 3 to 1.  A little shake of salt and pepper, and voila, you can be done.  

Or you can add all kinds of extras to put a great, unique taste in the dressing.  Try adding shallot, honey, garlic, mustard, soy or fresh herbs.  And let me know what works for you - there’s nothing I like better than emulating someone’s kitchen success.
