Simple Salad Dressing

Simple Salad Dressing

This Simple Salad Dressing is so easy to make! I make it every few weeks and store it in an air-tight glass container, so it’s ready to go. Enjoy this dressing for a few weeks when stored in the refrigerator in an air-tight glass container. Bring the dressing to room temperature and shake well before use. When you make your dressings, you know what you are eating. Often, store-bought dressings are filled with undesirable ingredients.

How to make Simple Salad Dressing

This dressing is fast, easy, and simple to make. You don’t have to use it only on a salad! You can mix it up and use it to marinate fish, chicken even beets and onions. It’s versatile and will make even the most ordinary dish taste better.

Step One: Gather your ingredients

You’ll need olive oil, vinegar, lemons, honey, mustard, garlic, sea salt, and red pepper flakes.

Step Two: Mix the ingredients

Combine all ingredients in a glass bowl and whisk until slightly emulsified. Bring to room temperature and shake before serving as the ingredients separate after sitting a while. Store in a glass bottle in the refrigerator.

You may find this hard to believe, but gluten can be found in many store-bought salad dressings that line the grocery store shelves. Knowing the ingredients that go into your food makes it taste better! Your loving hands make this alternative for your family.
