Olive oil (the same kind) can be used for both cooking and salad dressings. The best to use - especially for salads - is extra virgin olive oil.

Extra virgin olive oil has the highest olive flavor. Regular olive oil is light in flavor, and extra light has very little olive flavor.

Well, its not so much a matter of the thickness of the cooking oil for a salad dressing, but the taste it will impart to it. Extra virgin olive oil might have too strong a flavor, depending on what you are using as your herbs and spices and your vinegar. If you wanted a fairly bland oil, I would look to canola oil or peanut oil.
