You could try crème fraiche, sour cream, or lemon juice to add a touch
of sourness and thin it out some, but I'd be careful doing that with
capers. Cream would work to thin it as well. Maybe consider adding
some fresh herbs, especially chives or parsley, or Dijon mustard, or
even roasted shallots. With your ingredients, I'd like to add some
anchovies. Nice thing about salad dressings is that there are a
myriad of possibilities - just suit your taste.
