7 Homemade Salad Dressings to Make Your Mouth Water ...

By Eliza

The thing I love most about homemade salad dressings is that you can control the ingredients, so they taste great and are much healthier than those bottled ones at the grocery store. They might not keep as long, but they add just the right flavor to your salad. You can even use some of them to marinate chicken or steak before you grill it. Check out these homemade salad dressings and don’t be afraid to let me know what you think.
