Sort-of Caesar dressing

In the summertime we eat a lot of salads, and often those are Caesar salads, which means that we go through a lot of Caesar dressing. Now, for health reasons, I've been forced to cut back on my sugar intake, and most commercial salad dressings - including Caesar dressings - contain significant amounts of sugar; ergo, if I want to continue eating lots of salads, I have to find alternatives to commercially-produced dressings.

Blue cheese salad dressing

This recipe is inspired by Bill's Blue Cheese Dressing at allrecipes.com. The main differences are minor variations in the amounts of ingredients, as well as a difference the preparation method. I suspect that Bill's dressing tastes pretty good; mine does!

Creamy Italian Dressing

I decided a few days ago to make my own creamy Italian dressing. It's one of my favorites, but I'd never before tried to make it at home. A quick search on Yahoo yielded between 758,000 and 6,820,000 returns, depending on how you phrase the question. Obviously, I'm not going to review every possible recipe, or even all of the minimum number offered, but I do examine the top dozen or so for common elements.
