need recipe for evoo salad dressing

[getnfit06]

I bought some red wine vinegar and want to try making my own salad dressing using evoo. I hope the vinegar i chose is a good one.
I would like it to be maybe mildly sweet. I have never had a viniagrette (sp*) before but have read that they are healthy.
Recipes anyone?

Whisk EVOO + the vinegar (equal parts) + 1-2 packets of Splenda + 1 tblsp. Dijon mustard + some black pepper & fine sea salt (to taste) and, if desired, some minced garlic, red onion, scallion and/or shallot.

For added sweetness, if you can have it - a spoonful of concentrated OJ and honey is good too......

How much you use of each ingredient depends on how much you want to make.

rachel is adorable. I sometimes flip it on even when i'm too busy to watch, just to hear her talking. She's so spunky and positive

I love that recipe, I just don't add the splenda. I put that on chicken, tuna and my salads. You can add any spice you like to it, I tend on loading it with fresh ground pepper.
