Salad dressings

With summer on it's way I try to eat as many salads as possible, but it can be a bit boring! Any ideas for home-made dressings that are quick but tasty!

At the moment I tend to use the following ingredients or variations of this (ingredients to taste)
Olive oil
Balsamic vinegar
Runny honey
Wholegrain mustard
Seasoning
frangipani

Sometimes I like to have a bit of sweet chilli sauce on mine or a bit of mint sauce mixed with vinegar.

I don't tend to dress salads (the waistline, ladies!!) but find some chopped fresh herbs really pep it up - and I have a thing about tasty little extras like those sweet peppers in a jar, capers or sun dried tomatoes ... just a teeny bit makes a difference and keeps me interested...

I use the same except I use lemon juice instead of Balsamic

I quite like natural yoghurt and mint for a change :)

This is my favourite :D , but not to everyones taste I know :lol:

Get a nice big pile of mixed salad leaves, chop up smallish and tip about a third of a tin of hot baked beans on and give it a stir :lol: yummy :lol:
Sometimes I really push the boat out and crumble a little blue cheese on top, but thats for special occasions :wink:

Jan I've really got to try that one. Suspect it could be rather tasty!

Another exrtra which perks up salads comes ready prepared in small tubs-either (supposedly) bacon or onion crispy bits. Not sure that they contain either bacon or onion(!), but they are rather nice!
