Fast Salad Dressings

To go along with my Fast Lunch Salads, I have a handful of go-to fast salad dressings that can be whipped up in no time. I'll either mix them right in the bottom of the salad container before adding the other ingredients or I'll put the ingredients in a small jar like a spice jar and shake until emulsified.

The recipes are for 2-3 servings of dressing depending on how much or how little you use. Adjust quantities in proportion to each other to get the right amount for your intended use.
