Homemade Salad Dressing

Make your own salad dressing!
I like experimenting with ingredients and amounts to get the exact taste and consistency of salad dressing I prefer.
Basic recipe guidelines:

something fatty and potentially creamy...avocado, almond butter, tahini, cashews...

mix/blend with some good oil....virgin olive, flax, grape seed...

then add liquid and blend some more....soy milk, apple juice, carrot juice, water, rice milk....

something salty like soya sauce, braggs aminos, miso, celtic sea salt..

add herbs.....any of the above - fresh basil, rosemary, thyme, sage, garlic and/or ginger powder

also consider blending in red star nutritional yeast, kelp or dulse flakes, soaked dates, mustard, horseradish, pepper sauce......
