Making homemade salad dressing with pantry staples
Creating a dressing for your salad may seem intimidating at first, but there's no need to complicate things. Just gather a few simple ingredients, mix them together, and savor the results.
To give your Greek salad a fresh twist, whip up a red wine vinaigrette using olive oil, Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, garlic (grated or powdered), salt, pepper, and your preferred sweetener (like honey, maple syrup, or regular sugar). Shake everything together and drizzle it over a bed of romaine, red onions, Kalamata olives, feta cheese, and tomatoes. Want to feel legendary? Try making a creamy green goddess dressing with Greek yogurt, leafy greens, herbs, fresh lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper, and serve it alongside a warm salad with charred chicken, quinoa, and mixed greens. For a rich ranch dressing to complement a crispy chicken salad, mix mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk (if available), dill, parsley, garlic, chives, and lemon juice.
Don’t hesitate to get creative. Thin out pesto with some oil to create a flavorful topping for pasta salad, use leftover jam to craft a fruity vinaigrette, or repurpose canned seafood oil into a savory dressing. Remember, there's no need to spend money on store-bought salad dressings when you can easily make one at home that suits your personal taste.
