Salad Dressings

Salad Dressings

If you're not a fan of salads, it might be because you're using store-bought salad dressings on them! Too many dressings have a chemical, or unnatural, taste. They are also full of preservatives and other ingredients that are only necessary to preserve the shelf life of the product. Make your own and you can control the ingredients and adjust the flavors to suit your tastes. You can't easily do that with a bottle from the grocery store!
