Salad dressing can be an expensive thing to purchase on a weekly basis, but if you have decided to go on a salad diet, dressing may be the one thing that you cannot live without. Still, you do not have to pay nearly $5 for a gourmet salad dressing. Instead, create your own dressing at home, store it in a dated glass jar, and use it whenever you make a delicious salad.
Honey and Olive Dressing
You Will Need: ¼ cup of extra virgin olive oil; two Tbsp. honey; some fresh mint leaves; salt and pepper; half of a lemon.
To Make: Simply whisk all of the above ingredients together (salt, pepper, and lemon to taste), add them to a jar, and shake vigorously.
Soon you will have a delicious dressing that everyone will enjoy, and it’s low in fat as well. This dressing works great on light salads, but the following creamy dressing will work best if you want something a bit thicker.
Thick and Creamy Dressing
You Will Need: ½ cup sour cream; some freshly chopped chives; salt and pepper; ¼ cup of apple cider vinegar; ¼ cup olive oil.
To Make: add all ingredients to a glass jar and shake.
Did you see how easy that was? If you want, you can also add a splash of hot sauce to this recipe, or you can mix things like bacon bits in to this one as well. Now you have two easy salad dressing recipes, and you will never have to buy expensive salad dressings again.
