Delicious Fresh Salad Dressing Recipes
Summer is just around the corner and you’re eating salad for the health benefits but are most-likely adding a store-bought salad dressing for extra flavour.
The problem is, most bottled store-bought salad dressings are often filled with sugar, additives, preservatives, and trans fats.
The great news is that salad dressings don’t have to be tricky to be delicious! Here are five of my favourite dressings that you can whip up in less than 5 minutes.
Middle Eastern Buttermilk Sauce
100ml Buttermilk
100g Greek Yoghurt
1tbsp olive oil
1 small garlic grated
1 tsp Za’atar
Pinch of salt
Whisk together the ingredients and taste for seasoning. Delicious on a salad of roasted aubergines with lemon thyme.
Pomegranate Vinaigrette
1 shallot finely chopped
½ tsp Dijon mustard
2 tsp pomegranate molasses
3 tbsp olive oil
Pinch of salt and pepper
Place the shallot, mustard and pomegranate molasses in a bowl. Add some salt and
pepper and whisk vigorously as you slowly pour in the olive oil. Beautiful on a salad
packed with rocket, ripe figs and creamy goat’s curd.
Coconut Lime Dressing
1 clove garlic grated
1 small knob grated ginger
1 lime juice and rind
100ml coconut milk
Combine all the ingredients and season to taste.
