Salad dressing is something that people are very passionate about. If a favorite kind of dressing is missing from the potluck, they might skip the salad all together. I think everyone assumes that everyone likes Ranch dressing, but that is not true! I cannot eat Ranch dressing at all, but my husband and kids do! My favorite is Italian or some vinaigrettes. I love tangy, robust flavor on my salad and veggies!
The store bought salad dressings, however, are packed with preservatives to make them last longer and shelf stable. There are so many delicious homemade salad dressing and vinaigrette recipes, and I have collected a few here for you to choose from. Pick a few of your favorites to try on your salads this spring.
