Amazing Dressing Recipes That Will Make Any Green Salad a Winner

Most vegetables are neutral in flavor, so the dressing you use for your salad plus other ingredients like herbs and spices that you add will have a big impact on the flavor of the entire dish. The good news is that you can customize the flavor according to your mood, whether you like something light and creamy or something heavy and full of flavor.

Here are 3 salad dressing recipes that will bring your veggies and greens to life:

Honey and Raspberry Vinaigrette

What do you need:

• 1 cup fresh raspberries

• 2/3 cup balsamic vinegar

• 1/4 cup olive oil

• 1 tablespoon of honey

• 1 tablespoon of white sugar

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Combine the raspberries and white sugar in a bowl and leave for 10-15 minutes until the mixture is juicy. Mash the berries with a fork until blended (or pulse in a blender for 30 seconds if you prefer the dressing to be smoother). Pour into a glass jar with a lid and then add balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, and salt to the jar. Cover and shake until well combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.

• 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise

• 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

• 1/2 teaspoon salt or more to taste

In a bowl, combine the yogurt, Parmesan cheese, onion, parsley mayonnaise, ground black pepper, and salt. Add slowly and stir milk until desired thinness is achieved. Add more cheese or salt to adjust the flavor. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
