Tips:

Choose the right vinegar: White wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, and red wine vinegar are all popular choices for Swiss dressing. The type of vinegar you use will affect the flavor of the dressing, so choose one that you like the taste of.
Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, and dill, add a lot of flavor to Swiss dressing. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use only a small amount, as they can be more concentrated than fresh herbs.
Don't over-mix the dressing: Swiss dressing is best when it is slightly emulsified, but not too thick. Over-mixing the dressing can cause it to become too thick and gloppy.
Let the dressing sit for a while: Allowing the dressing to sit for a while before using it allows the flavors to meld together and develop. If you can, make the dressing ahead of time and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before using it.
Use Swiss dressing on a variety of salads: Swiss dressing is a versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of salads. It is especially good on salads that contain hard-boiled eggs, cheese, and vegetables.
