I found this recipe on allrecipes (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/absolutely-fabulous-greekhouse-dressing/detail.aspx). As a treat when I was feeling really low, I bought an incredibly expensive bottle of hemp oil, and raw red wine vinegar to make this.
1/2 cup raw hemp oil
1-1/4 teaspoons garlic powder
1-1/4 teaspoons dried oregano
1-1/4 teaspoons dried basil
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard
2/3 cup raw red wine vinegar
Pour them in order into a glass dressing carafe, or other salad dressing container. Shake well. Store in the fridge. You'll have to shake it up each time you use it, as oil and vinegar separate, and the spices do their own thing as well.
It is so delicious, I could just about drink it. It works just fine with olive oil, but the hemp oil was a nice treat for me, especially since I'm allergic to fish, and hemp oil is a decent source of omega 3's. If you can try it with hemp oil, it's awesome. :)

I almost forgot: Last time I made it, I used half a tsp of paprika, and half a tsp of ground pepper, and it made it a new color, and spicier, without being hot. I am betting that any change to the pepper will yield a major change in flavor. Fresh ground, gourmet blends, a touch of cayenne or other heat.
