The Best Salad Dressing Recipe

Salads can be a great source of vitamins and minerals, until we add things to them. I saw a salad that had more calories than a doughnut because it had store bought salad dressing with high fructose corn syrup on it. It is possible to have a salad with very tasty salad dressing without highly processed sugar. Most store- bought salad dressings have lots of additives and artificial sweeteners that you want to stay away from. The organic versions are better, but they are usually around $4-5 per bottle. I make my own salad dressing. Don’t get discouraged here. :) It’s so quick and literally takes a minute to make. And, it tastes SO much better and is actually good for you! I have the salad dressing container that I love, but sometimes I make it in a mason jar too. You can make a whole bottle and store it in the fridge or just enough for one serving, it’s up to you. Refrigerate it in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. I will share a secret to a simple formula on making a delicious, real food salad dressing. It’s based on the ratio of 3 parts oil and one part acid (vinegar or lemon juice.) I hope my guide above will help you be creative and to try a different salad dressing recipe. Add some spices and you are ready to go! Plus, your body can absorb a lot more of the nutrients from the salad because of the oil and acid in the dressing.
