This week Lynne continues her look at the salad with her take on salad dressings. It's time to put down those store-bought bottles, because Lynne has a handful of ideas to get you on the road to salad nirvana—from the classic vinaigrette to a creamy ranch—there is nothing simpler to make or more satisfying. Lynne leaves us with her recipe for her "Classic Vinaigrette." Our man with the opinionated palate, David Rosengarten of The Rosengarten Report, has discovered a very reasonable and very unusual vinegar from Italy, and forum regular Nancy wants us to rediscover the classic "Cooked Dressing."

From David Rosengarten: Vinegar
David RosengartenLynne calls David this week in New York to chat about salad dressings. Hear some of his recommendations on this week's Tuesday Night Kitchen. The vinegar David talks about this week is available at www.agferrari.com.

1. First of all, homemade dressing simply tastes better.

2. Homemade dressings avoid preservatives and chemical ingredients.

3. You can easily customize a dressing around what's in the fridge.

4. They are all very simple to make.
