Tasty Salad Dressing Recipes To Encourage You To Eat Your Greens
We all need to eat more greens and the two best ways to get them into you are smoothies and salads. I don’t know about you but the only way I am eating salad everyday is to have a wonderful tasty salad dressing to top it off with.
Salad dressing require a base, usually a fat and an acid to start, then you add layers of flavour. Herbs, spices, peppers, well anything that suits your fancy really. You can use flavoured oils & vinegars or even pickle juice! Salad dressings can be so creative!
So for today, I would like to share some of my favourite salad dressings!
