Shop-bought salad dressings can be high in hidden sugar, salt and fat. Therefore, homemade is best, as you can control what and how much of it you put in a dressing. This dressing is great over a salad, but don’t pour the dressing over the salad, rather serve at the table so everyone can add their own. Or use it to marinate or roast meat and chicken with. Vegetables can also be prepared with the dressing. See tips below this page.
