Have you ever made a beautiful salad with all the ingredients (lettuce, tomato, onion, garlic, carrot, boiled egg, coriander, green onions, kale, cabbage, etc.), you know, one of those salads that they take around half an hour to fully prepare, only to find you only have enough dressing to cover a bite of your amazing salad? Well NEVER FEAR, I’m here to tell you that you can make your own salad dressing that will have you enjoying your DELICIOUS salad in less than 5 minutes. Skeptical? Well don’t be, I’m not kidding!

You can find the full list of ten DIY salad dressings on the internet that are sure to blow your mind and amaze your guests! Whether you’re into ranch, Italian, poppy seed, Asian … there’s at least one dressing you’ll love (guaranteed!) =)

Most dressings have only four or five ingredients, and I’m not talking about the ingredients that you have to go out of your way to buy … I’m talking about normal, everyday ingredients in your fridge or in your pantry / kitchen cabinet. It’s about time we stopped paying $ 3 + dollars for salad dressings, when we can make it ourselves for a quarter of the price.

So in this article, I am going to cover the recipe for the two best dressings to start with and then if you are interested in learning more, you can. The recipe calls for enough ingredients to make one serving, so keep that in mind when preparing. You want to make sure you do enough for everyone! Let’s go ahead and get started:

Poppy seed dressing:

1 – You should start with 2 teaspoons of red wine vinegar

2 – Then add 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil

3 – Then mix 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard

4 – Finally add 1/2 teaspoon of poppy seeds, a pinch of garlic powder (and if you want a bit of spice add a pinch of chopped jalapeños)

… Or … You could try:

Caesar dressing:

1 – Start with 2 teaspoons of BALSAMIC vinegar

2 – Drizzle 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil

3 – Add 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese

4 – A dash of Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice
