Salad dressings are relatively simple, what do your taste buds like? Fruit such as guava, mango, papaya, raspberries and of course citrus' such as orange, lemon, lime. I'd keep away from grapefruit, however.
Using EVOO it goes like this
1 part citrus or fruit puree to 2 parts EVOO
add pepper and/or mustard for a kick
I use ponzu as a umame (earthiness) for my dressings.
Feta or goat cheese are an excellent cheese to use on salads.
Unsalted nuts, seeds, add flavor and protein, minerals, but only use unsalted, otherwise it is upping your sodium intake far to high.
Enjoy Matt.
