A good salad dressing turns an ordinary salad into an amazing salad. And now that warm weather is upon us again, salad season is in full swing. Need some inspiration? Here are 25 of my favorite Homemade Salad Dressings.
You may have seen my post on 22 Beautiful Salads last week. I’ve been having tons of fun trying out all the great recipes. This week, it’s all about the dressings. I have to admit: I love condiments. We eat pretty simple around here, so tasty, tangy dressings are a must. I always have an assortment of glass jars in my fridge door filled with dressings and sauces that i like to make.
I find that store-bought dressings almost always use industrial seed oils (like canola, sunflower, and safflower) and contain additives and emulsifiers that I prefer to avoid. Luckily, homemade salad dressings are a breeze to make. Here are 25 simple and delicious salad dressings for you to try at home:

February 25, 2015 at 11:32 pmI often make this dressing for mixed salads :
2 tbl spoons dried tomato paste
1 teaspoon shredded garlic
2 teaspoons mustard
4 tbl spoons white vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
1 /2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon grounded black pepper
2 tbl spoons mayonaise (light)
3 tbl spoons low fat milk
Mix together until it thickens. Add more milk if it’s too thick. Add salt and pepper as you like.
