I love making my own salad dressings. Ever since I stopped eating store bought mayonnaise because it’s full of canola oil and/or soybean oil and I got tired of many, many, many failed attempts at a homemade paleo mayo that actually tastes good (well good enough for my beloved Ranch seasoning). So I had to turn to a new salad dressing and my favorite is now vinaigrette type dressings. It’s so easy to make…throw all the ingredients in a jar and shake it until combined. Plus you can easily change out the flavor combinations.
My latest favorite combines lemon and basil and I use it for more than just salads. I like spooning the dressing over grilled chicken. It adds so much flavor!
