Salads are deceiving as we expect them to be super healthy, after all, they’re filled with vegetables, but when you start adding store-bought dressings, you’re loading your salad with sugars and sweeteners. It’s time to try homemade dressings, and these ones are sugar-free and only require three ingredients or less. Within minutes, you’ll be able to whip up these dressings.
Avocado + Cilantro + Water
In a medium bowl, mash one-half of a very ripe avocado and then put it in a glass. Add 1/3 cup minced cilantro, 1/2 cup water, salt, and pepper and close the jar and shake it. Add more water to get the consistency you desire.
Raspberries + Lemon Juice + Olive Oil
Mash 6 ounces of fresh raspberries with a fork in a medium bowl. Then put the mashed raspberries in a jar and pour in 2 teaspoons lemon juice, 1/3 cup olive oil, and some salt and pepper. Close the jar and give it a good shake.
Goat Cheese + Cumin + Water
Combine 2 ounces of goat cheese with 1 1/2 tablespoons ground cumin in a jar. Add 1/3 cup water, salt, and pepper. Close the jar and shake it. Add more water until it’s the creamy consistency you want.
Tahini + Apple Cider Vinegar + Honey
In a jar add 4 tablespoons tahini and pour in 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 2 teaspoons honey, and 1/3 cup water. Add salt and pepper and close the jar, shaking it. Add more water until it’s the consistency you like.
Dijon Mustard + Balsamic Vinegar + Olive Oil
Mix 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard with 2 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, and 1/4 cup olive oil in a jar. Add salt and pepper and close the jar before shaking it.
