Tasty Salad Dressings that Supercharge Your Health

Today, I want to share six delicious homemade salad dressings that are actually good for you.

It’s difficult to find healthy salad dressings at the store that don’t contain sugar or oils high in omega-6 fatty acids.

The salad dressings I’m going to share have unique health benefits. Of course, salad has a lot of important benefits, but choosing the right salad dressing can take it to the next level.

Here’s how to make salad dressing at home.

You will use a simple base of extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and apple cider vinegar for each of these salad dressings.

Add this base to a 16-ounce jar and keep it in your refrigerator. Each time you have a salad, add a quarter cup to half a cup of this base to a bowl, add your spices, mix it up, and pour it on your salad.

Ingredients for the salad dressing base:
1/3 cup (2.5 ounces) extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup (2 ounces) apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons (1 ounce) lemon juice

Apple cider vinaigrette dressing:
1 tablespoon mustard
1 clove garlic (minced)
1 pinch sea salt
1 dash pepper
