(490) Salad Dressings

Salads are made of  fresh, fibrous and nutritious ingredients which are mixed with some flavoursome ingredients called Salad dressing. So salad dressing is nothing but sauce for salads or you can also say the spicy mixture for salads which improves the taste and texture of salads. There are two types of Salad dressings Vinaigrette dressings and  Creamy dressings.

Vinaigrette dressings are prepared from Vinegar, Olive Oil, Herbs, Spices, Salt, Sugar, Nuts and seeds. Instead of using artificial chemicals in my kitchen I always prefer natural and fresh things . So I used Lemon juice, Tamarind juice, Pomegranate juice, Orange juice and Amla juice instead of Vinegar.

Creamy dressings are prepared from mayonnaise or fermented milk products like Curd, Sour cream and Butter milk.  I always try to avoid the use of mayonnaise or where necessary then use home made Instead of mayonnaise I prefer to use nuts,oil seeds and Avacado for creamy dressings.

Salad dressings can elevate the flavor of any salad while also providing a nutritional boost. By choosing ingredients rich in antioxidants, vitamins, protein, and iron, we can create dressings that not only enhance our meal but also support our health goals, including weight loss. Here are some power-packed dressing ideas to keep you satisfied and nourished during your journey.

Here given salad dressing measurements are ideal for 1 portion of any salad. Ideally 80 to 100 grams.
