Dressing ideas
Out of dressing ideas? A fast, easy way to start making your own salad dressing is by using basic vinegar based dressings. Try out flavored vinegars like plum, maple, balsamic, pineapple, and red wine vinegars to. Mix equal parts of oil and vinegar then flavor with herbs and spices as you wish. Mustard and honey are both good emulsifiers.

Which one you use will depend on whether your dressing is sweet or savory. Try flavoring your dressings with fresh or roasted garlic, scallions, spices, fruits and nuts.

Ideas on how to mix ingredients

Think of texture and flavor combinations. If you add nuts, you can skip croutons. If you add fruit, do throw in some cheese. Remember, dried fruits are fantastic for adding to your salads. They burst with flavor and add great nutrition and a fun chew. When using a high-fat salad dressing, do try to use combinations with tomatoes and other bright vegetables rather than cheeses and nuts.
