Spring is finally here, well at least in the Northern Hemisphere, which means salad season is upon us. With that being said, I´m going to show you how to make 4 Healthy Salad Dressings that will take your salads to the next-level in goodness.
The beauty of these homemade salad dressings, is that they´re all made with very simple ingredients, they´re easy to make and each comes together within minutes. Truly, so much healthier & tastier than any salad dressings you will get at the supermarket.
To make the salad dressings, I used glass jars with a lid on them. But you can also use a bowl with a whisk. I like to use the glass jars, as they´re perfect to store the dressings once they are done.
TIPS & TRICKS to Make these Dressings: On a couple of the dressings I used fresh parsley. You can substitute it for dried parsley. Just use half the amount. These dressings will hold in the fridge between 4 to 7 days in an air-tight glass jar or container.
Key Ingredients & Cookware I used in this Recipe:
GLASS JARS WITH LID
EXTRA VIRGIN SPANISH OLIVE OIL
SPANISH SEA SALT

I made the honey mustard dressing and turned out incredibly good!!!
I just made the balsamic dressing, I made it with regular mustard. I hope it doesn’t alter the recipe much. I will serve it this evening with my salad.

What would you suggest as an alternative to lemon juice in the ranch dressing? I really limit lemon because it causes me to have bladder infections. I would imagine lime would do the same but I’m not sure and don’t want to test it. Do you think white wine vinegar or an alcohol free white wine (I don’t drink alcohol) would work?
