Quick and Easy Salad Dressing

This dressing has become one of our favorites, and it’s so easy to make!  It’s much healthier than any of the store bought dressings available, and can be thrown together in a matter of seconds.  If you want to double or triple the recipe, it keeps just fine in the fridge.
