Anyone else hate how much room salad dressing bottles take up in your fridge? Or how many weird ingredients are in those bottles?
When from-scratch dressing is so straightforward to mix, it’s hard to justify purchasing it. You have more control over the ingredients, more flexibility in the flavors, it’s cheaper, and 99% of the time, they taste way better.
Whether you’re looking for a classic dressing like ranch, thousand island, or Caesar, or a light vinaigrette, you’ll find at least one recipe to love on this list! We also have some more unique dressing recipes like creamy avocado dressing and apricot vinaigrette.
We'll be adding to this list as we develop new dressing recipes, so this is a great page to bookmark or pin, keeping it handy to reference when you’re ready to dress an memorable salad!
Once you have the dressings down, don’t forget about toppings! Try from-scratch croutons (or straightforward air fryer croutons!), crispy chickpeas, savory granola, or seasoned tortilla strips. They’re all so great on salads!
