Raspberry Balsamic Vinaigrette 

The humble vinaigrette is the French’s gift to salad. Made with oil, vinegar, and seasonings, it is simple but delicious. This version is a vinaigrette on its way to prom. Purée some fresh or frozen raspberries and strain out the seeds. Add in balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper.

Cilantro and Lime

Cilantro is a very polarising herb, with people either loving it or outright detesting it. If you love it like we do, then you need to make this dressing. Combine chopped cilantro, lime juice, and minced garlic with some plain Greek yogurt. Add in water until you achieve the consistency you want.

Spicy Peanut Butter

Peanut butter is good in just about everything, so why not put it in salad dressing?! Mix up some PB with soy sauce, minced garlic, fresh ginger, chili flakes, honey, and lime juice. If it’s too thin, thin it out with water.

Salads don’t have to be daunting just because they’re healthy. And they don’t have to be boring, either! This all-green salad is from TikTok user @bakedbymelissa. It involves an appealing green salad dressing and can be eaten with tortilla chips (or rice cakes) like salsa. Let’s check it out.

Here is How to Make Green Goddess Salad

TikTok star @bakedbymelissa starts the recipe by finely chopping half of the green cabbage head, three cucumbers, and a bunch of scallions. She combines the veggies in a bowl before starting to work on the dressing, which will take the salad to the next level.

For the dressing, Melissa combines two cloves garlic, one shallot, ¼ cup lemon juice, ¼ cup chives, ¼ cup olive oil, a splash of rice vinegar, some walnuts, fresh basil, baby spinach, nutritional yeast, and salt to taste in a blender. She blends the ingredients into a smooth consistency before pouring the dressing over the cabbage, cucumbers, and scallions.

The final result looks quite delicious, and we think it could work great as a healthy dip. Check out @bakedbymelissa’s video with full instructions below.

Hummus

Like we need an excuse to eat hummus. But, just in case you do, this chickpea-based condiment provides protein and healthy carbohydrates.

Tahini

Another Mediterranean-inspired ingredient, this paste is made from ground sesame seeds and it adds the same creaminess you’re used to from salad dressings.

Avocado

Avocados have been used as alternatives to butter in many recipes because of the rich flavor. You can add a bit of lemon if you’d like, but all you have to do is cut up your avocado and toss it with your salad to make sure the avocado is all over the leaves. Yum!

Oil and Vinegar

In our option, there’s nothing tastier than extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Not only is it low in calories, but the combination is also savory and slightly sweet which pairs well with many different types of salads.

However, transforming delicious hummus into salad dressing is easier than you think. Because of all the flavor that’s already in it, you only need to water it down and you can do it with some water and lemon juice. It’s simple, really – you just need a 1/4 cup of hummus, a tablespoon of lemon, and a little bit of water to get a delicious salad dressing that tastes just like your favorite sandwich. If you want to add something extra to it, you can season it with salt, pepper, cumin, or anything else you like.

Don’t be surprised if your friends ask you about the fancy new dressing on your salad!

The tangy characteristics of the balsamic vinegar, which is its main component, complement the tender sweetness of vegetables such as mixed greens, spinach, and tomato perfectly.

Instead of buying balsamic vinaigrette the next time you head the the supermarket, why not try this simple recipe that you’ll love?

Ingredients

• 4 parts balsamic vinegar
• 1 part extra virgin olive oil
• Fresh garlic, minced
• Rosemary
• Ground black pepper
• Sage

Instructions

Start by pouring the balsamic vinegar and the extra virgin olive oil into the receptacle that will serve as the bottle for your dressing. You’ll want to close the receptacle and then shake it vigorously to combine the two things.

Next, add appropriate quantities of minced fresh garlic, rosemary, ground black pepper, and sage to the olive oil and balsamic vinegar mixture, according to taste. Shake again.

Let the mixture sit for a period of 12-24 hours, shaking on occasion to encourage the flavors to blend together.

After the mixture has sat for a sufficient amount of time, it’s ready to go into the refrigerator.

Refrigerate, and enjoy!
