I ask for a small dish along with their vinegar and olive oil. I put a few teaspoons of vinegar in the dish with an equal number of spoonfuls of water. Add some splenda or I have a container of liquid stevia in my purse - for this small amount of dressing, 1 or 2 envelopes (check the taste - you control how sweet or tart you like it), give it some salt and pepper, and then I use the mixture on my salad. Personally, I love it this way. If I have not had my oil for the day, I add the IP oil dosage to the dressing, but to be honest, I love it without the oil.
Any restaurant should have oil and vinegar and a small dish. This works great for me under any circumstances, and I think it tastes delish. My mom used to fix cucumbers and onions with this same dressing, only she used sugar, of course.
