Healthy DIY Salad Dressings 6 Ways

Your own homemade salad dressing will taste better than any store-bought bottle, I promise! It’s so quick and easy to throw together your own dressing, plus it is cheaper than buying premade + you get to control what ingredients go into it.

Oil-based dressings (vinaigrettes) are the easiest to make at home. And if you’ve tried any of my other recipes, you know that I like minimal effort and clean up. That’s why I’m sharing with you dressings that need only a mason jar and your super strong arms to make. Simply combine the dressing ingredients in the jar, pop the lid on, and shake! Another benefit of these recipes is that the ingredients are versatile and include pantry staples you are likely to already have on hand/use in other recipes.

Classic Vinaigrette, Rosemary + Honey Vinaigrette, Lemon Vinaigrette, Ginger + Turmeric Vinaigrette, Greek Vinaigrette and Caper Vinaigrette

These recipes will make about a quarter cup of dressing, or enough for about 3-4 salads. Leftover dressing can also be used as marinades for proteins + veggies so you don’t waste any food!

Store dressings for up to 10 days in the fridge. Separation of ingredients is normal (this might appear as layers of liquid). Simply reshake the jar to combine again. But please note that dijon mustard in each recipe is necessary! This acts as an emulsifier, keeping the oil and vinegar combined. If you don’t like dijon or don’t have any on hand, you substitute it with mayo.
