Salads are supposed to be healthy right? Well, they definitely can be, but it’s easy to make them unhealthy by drowning them in salad dressing. These dressings have tons of sodium, sugar, and ingredients you probably can’t pronounce. The good news is you can still eat delicious salads by switching out dressings with these alternatives.
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.
