Tired of the same old salad dressing? Getting creative with seasoning your salads or veggies can make a world of difference in taste and enjoyment. Try these delicious alternatives to standard oil-and-vinegar dressing.

I just had the dressing below on my tuna and veggie salad. I did put cayenne pepper in the dressing. So yummy! I liked it with the lime juice!

4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Whisk together and drizzle over tuna salad.

For steamed asparagus:

(2 tablespoons per serving)

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon salt, if desired

Whisk together and pour over steamed asparagus.

3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

1/2 medium onion, sliced

Whisk together and serve over shrimp salad.
