The next time you make a salad, pair it with one of these healthy salad dressing recipes instead of dousing it with a bottled dressing with questionable ingredients.

All of these dressings use common ingredients and seasonings that you can pronounce and likely already have on hand in your pantry and kitchen. Also, each of these healthy salad dressing recipes is quick and easy to make. All you need is about 5 minutes to mix all of the ingredients together and you’ll have a healthy salad dressing on hand to use whenever you need it. We like to mix ours up in a small mason jar, pop a lid on top and store it in the fridge. Then, all you have to do is shake it up and spoon or pour some on your salad when you are ready.
