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!
