I love a light and flavorful salad dressing! I’ve really been enjoying making my own homemade salad dressings, especially since I know exactly what is in it. Furthermore, I’m not a fan of store bought dressings, only because I feel they lack flavor and are typically full of other ingredients we don’t need. I promise, once you get the hang of it, it really doesn't take much time and tastes so incredible. Overall, making your own dressing is healthier because you can control what you put in them. The amazing fresh flavors can't compare to anything else you'll get.
