Sunday prep tip: DIY your salad drizzle

I’m challenging you to DIY your dressings

While it may seem like I’m some sort of urban homesteader who bakes her own bread (never attempted it) or makes her own pizza dough (ok, I do actually do this), I’m all about premade products when they make sense.

However, I have a hard time purchasing $8+ products I could make in literally 5 minutes from ingredients I already have on hand, like salad dressings. That doesn’t make sense to me.

That’s why for this week’s Sunday Prep Tip (this will be a thing from now on), I’m sharing three super simple homemade salad dressing recipes that you can whip up in less than five minutes. The first has ingredients you likely have on hand and is my foundational DIY dressing recipe that I tailor with different vinegars, oils, herbs, and spices. The other two recipes build upon the first, using interesting ingredients to boost flavor and add a creamy texture to your dressings — without the dairy.

👉 Your homework: Take 5 minutes to make a batch of salad dressing for the week ahead. Store it in the refrigerator and pull it out throughout the week for a drizzle on salads, bowls, or vegetables.

Then report back and let me how it goes.

*The more interesting fact of the day is that I had no idea there was an official Association for Dressings and Sauces, which is where I found the above salad dressing fact. Apparently they even have a “technical meeting” coming up in May and I’m so curious what types of topics are presented at a meeting about sauces….maybe I should try to attend. 😂
