Make Your Own Salad Dressings to Save
Did you know...
Making your own salad dressing can also save you up to 70% off buying at the store? And it's easy too!
For a classic vinaigrette, start with one part vinegar (or citrus juice) to three parts oil. Sprinkle in a little salt and pepper, and with a few whisks, you're done!
This mixture can be served as is, but if you're feeling creative, break out the blender and it can also be used as a base to make an endless variety of dressings! To add some zing, add ingredients like mustard, garlic, olives or ginger (to name a few). For a sweeter palate, mix in some honey, jam or even fruit!
And if you want to get creamy with it, try adding a few spoonfuls of yogurt, sour cream, buttermilk, or even mayo. Don't want the dairy? Blend in ripe avocado, nut butter or tahini paste for a richer texture, without the lactose.
Aside from being super lowcost, you're also making a fresher, higher quality dressing store bought dressings can be watered down, at your expense!
So open up the fridge and pantry and whip up your own salad dressing! Your savings are only a few whisks away.
