Best Slightly Creamier Sunday Salad Dressing Recipes
ITALIANATE SUNDAY-SALAD DRESSING
All vinaigrettes are based on a simple formula that uses roughly three parts oil to one part acid, a rule that achieves balance between the vivid sparkle of vinegar or lemon juice and the slick heaviness of olive oil. You can adjust for taste from there, adding a splash of oil if the dressing tastes too acidic, or a splash of acid if it's overwhelmed.

SLIGHTLY CREAMIER SUNDAY-SALAD DRESSING
The best vinaigrettes are emulsified - that is, they are smooth and at least temporarily stable, the disparate ingredients suspended among one another. (The addition to your dressing of already emulsified mixtures - maybe mustard or a dollop of mayonnaise - can help in this regard.) Whatever the dressing, I serve the resulting meal with a baguette and some salted butter. And as long as we're sharing, often a roast chicken too. Swiping bread through a small puddle of melted chicken fat and salad dressing, after all, is one of life's great pleasures.

ELLEN'S LEMON BASIL SALAD DRESSING
Ellen Greenblatt, a friend who lives in Berkeley, Calif., shared this recipe with me. Toss a green salad with this dressing, and no additional herbs will be necessary. It is perfect for chicken salad or drizzled over a cooked chicken breast; use it over shrimp, salmon or sliced tomatoes. Ms. Greenblatt uses a mini food processor, but the dressing also can be made in a mortar and pestle. Try it on some of the salads in the Recipes for Health index.

Steps:
- Place the basil in the bowl of a mini food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the lemon juice, salt, pepper and honey, and pulse several times until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add the olive oil and process until emulsified. Taste and adjust honey and salt. Serve right away to preserve the color.

BASIC SUNDAY-SALAD DRESSING
Vinaigrettes are all based on a simple formula that uses roughly three parts oil to one part acid, a rule that achieves balance between the vivid sparkle of vinegar or lemon juice and the slick heaviness of olive oil. You can adjust for taste from there, adding a splash of oil if the dressing tastes too acidic, or a splash of acid if it's overwhelmed. Dressing advice: Whisk a lot. Start with vinegar and the flavors you're adding to it: diced shallots, say, or garlic. If there is to be a cheese on the salad, I might add a pinch or two to the dressing early on, to help distribute its flavor. Whisk it around for a while. And then continue to whisk, especially as you add the oil. The best vinaigrettes are emulsified - that is, they are smooth and at least temporarily stable, the disparate ingredients suspended among one another. (The addition to your dressing of already emulsified mixtures - maybe mustard or a dollop of mayonnaise - can help in this regard.)
