What's In Your Salad Dressing?

There are so many advantages to making your own salad dressing at home. First, it’s less expensive and contains ingredients found in most pantries. 

Second, you have full control over what is in your dressing. Most store-bought salad dressings contain industrial seed oils (which contribute to oxidation of the cells), added sugar (like corn syrup and cane sugar), and preservatives. 

In one popular salad dressing, there was 14 grams of sugar in just 2 tablespoons of dressing.

Even the salad dressings labeled sugar free can be problematic because they still might contain preservatives and industrial seed oils.  

This sugar free salad dressing recipe has no preservatives, industrial seed oils, or sugar, and is beneficial because of the healthy fats and probiotics it contains.

Sugar Free Salad Dressing Ingredients

When using such simple ingredients, it is always best to try to find the highest quality ingredients that you can afford to maximize your health benefits. 

Lemon Juice- Lemon has been used in almost all cultures to add brightness and freshness to their dishes. And it does the same here. 

Garlic- Garlic is pungent and adds a hint of bitterness to the dressing. 

Dijon Mustard- Dijon mustard acts as the emulsifier in this dish, which helps everything blend together without separating. 

Apple Cider Vinegar - Apple cider vinegar is the vinegar of choice, not only because of its delicious fruity and sharp taste, but because it is known for its acetic acid which helps balance the bacteria in the gut. 

Try to find apple cider vinegar that is organic, raw, and unfiltered to get the most benefits from this probiotic.

If you are unable to use apple cider vinegar, you may also use balsamic and red wine vinegar.

Salt- This elevates all the other ingredients in the dish. You don’t need much to bring balance to the dressing. 

Extra-Virgin Olive Oil- Extra-virgin olive oil contains a healthy ratio of omega-6 and omega-3 fats. When purchasing extra-virgin olive oil at the store, avoid buying oil that is stored in a clear plastic container as it can become oxidized. 

If you can’t find a quality source of extra-virgin olive oil, avocado oil can work as well. But we love that additional flavor olive oil brings to this dish.
