Salad dressings come in two main types:
1. Vinaigrette: This light dressing uses oil, vinegar, and seasonings for a tangy taste. An example is olive oil combined with balsamic vinegar.
2. Creamy: Made with mayonnaise, yogurt, or cream, this dressing has a thick and rich flavor. Caesar dressing, made with mayonnaise, garlic, and parmesan cheese, is an example.
Dressings improve the taste, feel, and look of salads, making them more appealing.
