Homemade Simple Salad Dressing Recipes
A salad isn’t complete without a perfect homemade simple salad dressing to accompaniment it. You can easily make your own delicious healthy dressing at home with ingredients you most likely already have on hand.
Wether you want something basic or maybe you are feeling creative I have lots of options just for you! You are sure to find a salad dressing you will love and will become your next favourite recipe!
There are so many reasons you really should start making your own! While I started out with store bought, I quickly found out they are filled with lots of nasty ingredients you don’t want to be consuming.
Here’s a few reasons to start making your own!
Why Make Homemade Salad Dressing
- First of all, it’s a lot healthier than storebought. Storebought dressings are loaded additives, preservatives, numbers and all kinds of things you really don’t want to put into your body.
- Homemade salad dressings are pretty easy and basic to make. You most likely already have everything you need at home to make at least a few different types of dressings.
- Making your own is also very cheap. A decent salad dressing in the shop can cost anywhere from 4-8 dollars! That’s here in Australia at least. Making your own is significantly cheaper for the same amount. The cost being maybe a dollar for the same quantity as store bought bottles.
- You can change it up. You can get as creative as you want, mix up different spices, oils to make whatever your heart desires. Not stuck with just one bottle of salad dressing.
