Spring Salad Dressings

Spirng is in full swing and summer is creeping up fast. This is the time of year for farmers markets, fresh produce and abundant healthy salads! Spruce up your favorite salad mix with some homemade salad dressings. With a flavorful dressing and just a few ingredients, you can turn some simple greens into a full meal. I always like to add a bit of crunch with some vegetarian "bacon" bits or nuts.
