I love a sesame seed Asian dressing. Rather complicated to home make, but far superior to bottled 'sesame dressing'.
a couple of table spoons of sesame seed, browned and crushed to rough paste in mortar/pestle.
Mayer lemon juice (or a lemon/lime juice), a garlic clove, a tsp of mustard, a tablespoon of sugar, salt, and couple of table spoons of chopped onions; all wisked in a blender or mini-prep.. Drizzle in a light salad oil and some water if need to thin if it looks more mayo like instead of dressing like..finish with a bit of soysauce.

One of the features on Feed52 about salad greens links to a lovely green goddess dressing by Orangette.

My standby is the classic vinaigrette. But in the summer I do like ranch dressing which goes well with salads alongside grilled meats.By chance I once ran into Steve Henson, the guy who invented Hidden Valley Ranch dressing. Of course he wouldn't give me the formula although he did give me a souvenir pen. But its main components are equal parts sour cream and buttermilk, to which you can add a little cayenne, some onion salt, celery salt, maybe some chives, a few drops of lemon juice and salt. Take it from there.

1 part Meyer lemon juice to 2 parts good olive oil, salt and pepper. If you want a sweeter flavor, add just a drop of honey or maple syrup.
