You are having a salad for dinner! Instead of the greasy burger you really wanted you thought, swim suit season is coming up, I better eat more healthy. Good for you. Starting with fresh leafy green and filling your bowl to the brim with in season fruits and veggies. Next for the topper! A delicious dressing to complete a satisfying meal. You better hold on though,...store bought dressing are loaded with high fructose corn syrup, MSG and more than 13g of fat per serving. Maybe you should have had the burger after all.

Good news you can control additional sugars, fat content and preservatives by making your own salad dressing. By keeping a few ingredients on hand, you are salad ready.
