Instructions
Combine all ingredients in a small, clean glass jar with a secure lid. Shake until the dressing emulsifies (about 10 seconds). Taste and adjust for seasoning. Leftovers keep well in the fridge, but they may need to be shaken again before use (particularly if you thinned it out with water). Use within a couple of days.

The body of the post is entirely dedicated to different options for each ingredient. If you have any substitution questions, it will likely be covered in the body of the post. If not, let me know!
I prefer to thin my salad dressing out with water as opposed to oil. I don't love an overly oily salad dressing.
