Honey Ginger Orange Salad Dressing
I’ve been all about making my own salad dressings lately. The taste better, they’re better for you, they’re cheaper, and it’s fun! I keep them in my empty wine bottles. A couple days ago, I made an honey ginger orange dressing that was to die for! Here is the recipe!
-*1 cup extra virgin olive oil, *1/3 cup balsamic vinegar, *1/2 tablespoon dried chives, *juice of 1/2 orange squeeze, *1/3 cup honey, *1/2 teaspoon ground ginger.
Shake well!
I used this dressing with a salad made up of cucumber, romaine, roma tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and dried cranberries.
I love making my own dressing. It’s the best. It’s always lighter and tastes way better and when you run out, you can just make some more!
This sounds so good! I love making my own dressing. I will have to try this 🙂
Yummy stuff, Tara. 🙂
Yumm! do you have to refrigerate the dressing..
I have always wanted to make my own salad dressing! I think this is one I will definitely try!
A few months ago I took the time to look up the ingredients in typical Wishbone or Kraft dressings and I was disgusted. It’s all chemicals and not something I want in my body! I’ve been having some fun making dressings lately too. The best one yet is this one I found. I mix it with Greek yogurt and it comes out amazing! Even really good on chicken and then grilled!
1/3 cup dry buttermilk
2 Tbsp. dried parsley
1 1/2 tsp. dried dill weed
2 tsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. onion powder
2 tsp. dried onion flakes
1 tsp. ground black pepper
1 tsp. dried chives
1 tsp. salt
DIRECTIONS:
Whisk all ingredients together until blended. If you want a more finely-ground seasoning mix, you can pulse the mixture in a food processor until it reaches your desired consistency.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
*3 Tablespoons of this mix = 1 packet of the store-bought seasoning mix
**To Make Ranch Dressing: Combine 1 Tbsp. seasoning mix with 1/3 cup mayo and 1/3 cup milk, and whisk to combine. You can also substitute Greek yogurt for the mayo.
YUM!!!!
