Over 45 Real Food Salad Dressing Recipes


Salad dressings are great!

They enhance the vegetables, meats and add-ins on our favorite salads and often entice kiddos to eat their greens. I love Ranch dressing on carrot sticks, raw broccoli, snap peas and cauliflower!

Salad dressings also add valuable nutrition to our diets, especially when they include healthy fats. We need fats in order to absorb and utilize the vitamins and minerals in vegetables.

We certainly do ourselves no favor by leaving salad dry and boring!

But commercial salad dressings are NOT our friend!

They are full of rancid, processed vegetable oils that lead to inflammation in our body, genetically modified ingredients (GMOs) that are bad for our health and our environment and tons of preservatives, additives like MSG and artificial colors and flavors. No thanks!

Luckily, it’s beyond simple (and super frugal) to make your own salad dressings at home.

Here are over 20 links for ideas, with over 45 recipes among them. There is definitely something in here to please everyone- salad lover or not!
