Get a squeeze bottle (like the old tried and true ketchup and mustard kind of squeeze bottles)
In a bowl with a pour spout or lid
grate a small clove of garlic, add herbs of choice, a little salt and pepper, and a pinch of sugar (or some honey) put enough balsamic to fill the squeeze bottle 1/3 full, add 1 heaping tablespoon of good dijon mustard, whisk it to gether, pourr into the bottle, then add olive oil to taste, shake like mad and you have a great simple dressing.
ymmv, but this is what I do and it beats the hell out of anything you can buy in a bottle.
also simple vinegrette of wine vinegar of your choice, olive oil, herbs and seasoning, shake it up, enjoy.
old and even more simple standby, lemon juice, olive oil and salt. On baby rocket and frisee and other greens, all you need is a dash of pepper and it's good to go (and makes a great sandwich with a few pieces of feta and a sliced tomato)
