In celebration of homemade salad dressings

One of my top tips for keeping healthy on a vegetarian diet is to always have some salad dressing on hand to get you to eat some fresh greens! Besides just smothering your salads, you can use a homemade salad dressing as a dip for veggies, drizzled over steamed veggies or a baked potato for a quick side dish, or even as a marinade or sauce for some tofu. Try out some of my favorite homemade salad dressings to create a delicious and nutritious meal. Get out your blender and save yourself a few dollars at the grocery store by doing it yourself! Besides that, most store-bought salad dressings are filled with preservatives and a ton of sugar. Here are just a few of my favorite easy homemade salad dressing recipes to try:

Tahini "Goddess" Dressing (pictured above, left) Tahini-based goddess dressing is a top seller at natural food stores and many restaurants, so if you've never tried it, you're missing out!

Easy Fat-free Dijon Dressing A user gave this dressing 4 out of 5 stars and said she was "very pleasantly surprised".

Japanese Miso Salad Dressing (pictured, right) With just 2 tablespoons of oil, this dressing is lower in fat than others, but gets plenty of Asian-inspired flavor from miso and soy sauce.
