We're always looking for a terrific salad dressing - and my taste buds are often grateful I try the new ones that I do. My favorite has always been the garlic ceasar dressing recipe mom shared with me years ago but I really love the variety and choices - the flavor results of each different dressing.
I stopped buying store bught dressings when I learned that it is really nothing more than squeezing fat onto your salad.....and what is the point of that? I explored the 'light' and 'fat free' dressings - but they are often worse. Check out the sodium and sugar content of any store bought dressings, even the 'good for you' ones - and you'll rush to make your own.
Your body will thank you!

SIMPLE VINAIGRETTE
uice of 1 large lemon or 3 tbsp white wine vinegar. ( you could also use plain vinegar in it’s place but white wine vinegar is better tasting)
½ cup olive oil, extra virgin is recommended for its health benefits.
½ tsp mustard, for the tang.
½ tsp mixed herbs
Salt and pepper to taste.
Whisk herbs, mustard and lemon juice.
Drizzle in the oil while stirring. Or simply put all the ingredients into a bottle and shake well.
¼ th cup balsamic vinegar
1 tsp rice wine vinegar
1 small piece grated ginger
A dash of orange juice
1 tbsp honey
If you feel adventurous, add a tsp of toasted curry powder to this mixture. As with all the other salad dressings, mix all the ingredients together in a bottle. Finely minced shallots will add to the taste of this dressing too.
