Salad Dressing

Homemade tastes better, healthier and tasty!

Making the dressing is a matter of combining the Olive Oil and vinegar, along with the seasonings and flavourings. 

Feel free to be creative; add a few clove of crushed garlic or some chopped fresh basil, oregano or other delicious green herbs making the perfect addition to any Garden Salad! A teaspoon of honey or mustard will not only add flavour, it will also help stabilize the emulsion, so the dressing won't separate as quickly. Some seeds or nuts adding the iron and a squeeze of citrus, like lemon, lime or orange could be a nice addition.
