Whether you choose a creamy or vinaigrette salad dressing, the most important thing is to get one that works well with your kind of salad. For your salad, slice up your preferred vegetables, put them in a bowl and drizzle your salad dressing generously and then mix it all up to ensure the dressing coats all the vegetables. Remember, only add salad dressing to the amount of salad you're ready to it immediately so the salad stays fresh.
