A salad only tastes as good as its dressing. A well-dressed salad can leave you feeling full and content—not deprived of food or flavor. A poorly-dressed salad will leave you regretting your meal choice and pining for something more. I love making my own dressings since I can better control the sugar content, oil quality, and calorie count. Each of the salad dressings below takes less than 5 minutes to prepare and bursts with full-bodied flavor. Try them out and see which one suits your salad!
