Home Kitchen 50+ From-scratch Salad Dressings and Vinaigrette Recipes
What if I told you I had 50+ from-scratch salad dressings and vinaigrette recipes? If you haven’t noticed, Worth keeping making salads. Creating fine, healthful and wholesome salads are my jam. However, what I truly
If you haven’t noticed, A regular here making salads. Creating handsome, healthful and wholesome salads are my jam. However, what I genuinely, genuinely love is making my own salad dressings and vinaigrettes. Playing with different vinegars, spices and herbs, fruits and jams, nut and seed butters, truly creating fun flavors that take salads up a notch is a (not-so-secret passion) of mine. I prefer the ingredients to be familiar, knowing that there is not a single additive nor preservative in my dressings helps me sleep at night. Kind of dramatic, yet kind of true.
Why am I creating a salad dressing round up post?
Well, some dressing and vinaigrette recipes are standalone posts, some you’ll find within the actual salad recipe and then other recipes you may have missed because I use them in a sandwich or on a burger. So, I decided to round up all the salad dressings, vinaigrettes and dressinades from the past 7 years and put them all in one go-to place.
Below you’ll find 50+ from-scratch salad dressings and vinaigrette recipes in one organized and alphabetical list. From, the reader go-to, Avocado Salad Dressing to Zesty Italian Dressinade and simply about everything in between. But PLEASE feel free to leave a salad dressing request in a comment below, or if you would like, email me (using the contact link at the top of the page) and send me your go-to recipe for me to try. Who knows? I simply may share it here on !
And as the years roll on, I promise to update this list whenever I share a new recipe. Sort of like my collection of From-scratch Spice Blends, simply with from-scratch salad dressings and vinaigrette recipes.
A LOT of salad dressings 😉
Only note that some recipes make more or less depending on the original recipe it was used for, so doubling (or tripling) ingredients my be needed. Use your beset judgement here and enjoY!
