  Pat Piper or Sonoma, California, sends us her recipe
  rather assertively called Pat's Famous and Healthful
  Low-Cholesterol Salad Dressing. She first tried a
  balancing act of 1 to 1 (equal parts oil and vinegar).
  But overly tart results pushed her back to traditional
  ratios of 3 (oil) to 1 (vinegar).  
  She then elected to combine predominantly
  monounsaturated olive oil with three significantly
  polyunsaturated vegetable oils, hoping to bring better
  nutrition by way of variety. Liking the concept of
  variety, she also combined several vinegars.  

  In a small bowl or jar, whisk or shake together olive
  oil, safflower oil, soy oil, peanut oil, balsamic
  vinegar, cider vinegar, garlic, blue cheese, soy
  sauce, dry mustard, pepper, and basil. Makes about 1
  1/3 cups.
