- several snips of fresh chives or 1 minced shallot
- ½ tsp. sea salt
- several grinds pepper

- Either toss with the salad, or serve in a cruet alongside the salad.
Notes
I love to make my own olive oil mayonnaise, but I certainly keep a good commercially prepared one in my refrigerator. Salad dressings need a little bit of fat; fats aid in the absorption of some nutrients, and make the ingredients taste better too!
Creamy dressings will keep in your refrigerator for several days - if they last that long!
