What homemade dressing is better than store-bought?
I'm tired of spending money on bottled dressings from Carrefour. I'd like to make something at home that lasts several days and is cheaper, any recipe that works well?

Dude, homemade dressings save you a ton of money. The most versatile thing is making a basic vinaigrette: olive oil, vinegar (white or balsamic), a little mustard, minced garlic and salt. You keep it in a jar in the fridge and it lasts like a week easy. If you want something creamier, mix homemade mayo with lemon, garlic and a touch of honey, that also keeps well for several days. The advantage is you control the ingredients and it costs a fraction of the price, plus you can adjust the flavors to your taste without the weird preservatives that come in the ones from the supermarket.
Totally, vinaigrette is the most practical and cheap option. What makes the difference is using decent olive oil - doesn't need to be the most expensive, but a regular one from Carrefour works perfectly. I usually make a big batch in a glass jar with oil, white vinegar, mustard, garlic and a touch of honey, and it lasts me about a week in the fridge no problem. If you want something creamier like ranch, you just mix homemade mayo or plain yogurt with dried herbs, lemon and garlic - it's way cheaper than those big bottles and you control what you put in it.
After years of dealing with damp basements and running early in the mornings, I'm telling you vinaigrette is genuinely the best - it lasts you a week in the fridge and it's ridiculously cheap! I make mine with olive oil, white vinegar, mustard, garlic and a touch of honey, and honestly it's infinitely better than those jars from Carrefour that look like they're made from dissolved plastic.
