My usual recipe consists of 2 parts olive oil to 1 part vinegar (my favourites are raspberry and balsamic). To that I add at least 1 large crushed garlic clove, about a tablespoon of maple syrup, about 1/2 t of deli style mustard, perhaps a pinch of dried herbs (oregano, basil, etc) and finally some fresh ground pepper and salt. Whisk it up until it becomes cloudy and pour. Yum.
