Replacing oil in your salad can be a healthier option that still provides great flavor and texture.

Mash ripe avocado and combine it with lime juice, salt, pepper, and other spices for a creamy and nutritious dressing.

Nut Butters

Blend natural nut butters like almond or peanut butter with water, vinegar, or citrus juice to create a rich and creamy dressing.

Tahini

Made from sesame seeds, tahini offers a nutty flavor and creamy texture when combined with lemon juice and water or yogurt.

Hummus

Dilute hummus with water or citrus juice to create a flavorful and creamy dressing.

Mashed Berries

Mash berries like strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries, and mix them with vinegar or citrus juice for a sweet and tangy dressing.

Miso Paste

Combine miso paste with water, vinegar, or citrus juice to create a unique and savory dressing.

Soy Sauce or Tamari

For an Asian-inspired flavor, mix soy sauce or tamari with vinegar, citrus juice, and some sesame oil (a small amount for flavor).
