Create a Salad with a Homemade Dressing.

“I just started my health journey last month and decided to give a go to salads. My goal is both savory and healthy! I don’t want sodium bombs or heavy loads of unhealthy stuff but I don’t want plain greens either. This is my first attempt at a homemade salad with my homemade dressing. My salad consisted of arugula, berries, feta cheese, almonds, organic chicken and kale Italian sausage links, and pepper. My dressing consisted of pure virgin olive oil, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, basil, oregano, and pepper. Overall the salad was good but I could have used less dressing and the dressing itself was roughly 270 calories from the olive oil.”

“When I first started cooking, I discovered how simple it is to make salad dressing at home. Now, I rarely buy those store-bought bottles! This simple homemade salad dressing is my go-to for everything from green salads to a tossed salad or pasta salad. It takes just 3 minutes and uses ingredients I usually have on hand! [...] what I love about it is how it adds a zingy, bright flavor to anything from crisp romaine to roasted vegetables. Plus, I know exactly what’s in it: no hidden preservatives or additives.”
