If you want to experience new amazing tastes, or just don't like store-bought salad dressings - then it's time to make one by yourself!

Salad dressing is half the success of a great salad, so it's worth experimenting with tastes and flavors.

Here are a few ideas that might come handy, so you can elevate your salads.

Mix Oil and Vinegar

Start with about 3 parts oil to 1 part vinegar. 

So, for example, if you use 3 tablespoons of oil, use 1 tablespoon of vinegar. Pour them into your jar or bowl.

Add Flavorings

If you like, add a pinch of salt, a pinch of pepper, a spoonful of mustard, a bit of honey for sweetness, and some minced garlic for extra flavor. 

You can adjust these to your taste.

Shake or Stir

Close the jar or use a fork to stir everything together really well. If you have a jar, you can close it tightly and shake it until it's mixed. 

If you're using a bowl, stir until everything looks combined.

Taste and Adjust

Taste your dressing with a piece of lettuce or a vegetable from your salad. 

If it needs more salt, pepper, or any other flavor, add a bit more and mix again.

Use It

Pour your homemade dressing over your salad just before you eat it. You can store any extra dressing in the refrigerator for a few days.

Conclusion

Using these basic ingredients, you can create a perfect salad dressing that suits your tastes perfectly.

Moreover, you can always use seasoning and spices to make it unique and even more delicious!
