This works everytime and is great on a mixed greens salad (not a caesar salad):

- three parts extra virgin olive oil
- one part red wine vinegar (or balsamic)
- honey to taste (usually about half a tablespoon) or sugar (not brown)
- chopped garlic to taste (about 1 tsp)
- 1 tsp dried mustard
- 1 tsp of lemon juice
- ground pepper to taste

Mix by shaking in a closed container until vinegar and oil mix evenly and add to salad contents just before you want to eat and toss gently.

We like to mix it up for variety in our salad (using the same dressin), by adding a nut variety for crunch (pecans, pine nut, walnut, almond) and a fruit for texture (apple pieces or dried cranberries) and or a cheese for zing (blue or soft mozzarella).

Enjoy!
