Ten Vinaigrettes

Yesterday, I gave you my version of Italian Dressing Mix.

I got to test out my cruet on a real homemade DIY version of Italian dressing, and it was sooo good.  Yes the extra O's are intentional.

So now that I've got the basis for my deliciously, delectable vinaigrette, I've decided to veer off of the beaten path to try some other variations. 

These are also great because they double as a marinade.  So, you can enjoy them on meat and veggies!
