I am quite partial to Hidden Valley and Newman's Own...
In high school I had a friend who always "craved salads", this baffled me. How could anyone possibly crave a salad? A hamburger maybe, but a salad.. no.
It only took me 8 years to realize why she constantly craved salads. She was making her own salad dressing! I tried this one time, out of boredom as usual, to find that it turned out much better than your average iceberg lettuce-ranch dressing-bacon bit-tomato salad.
If you're fresh out of gluten, fat, and carbohydrate loaded pre-bottled dressings, why not make your own?
Salad Dressing:
3 parts extra virgin olive oil
1 part white wine vinegar
juice of 1/2 lime
1 tbsp habanero spicy mustard
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp cumin
Lots of s&p
And here we go:
Mix it all together in a glass jar or old salad dressing bottle. This will last in the refrigerator for a few days. Be sure to let the salad dressing return to room temperature before dressing your salad or else the consistency will be off.
Incase you want to make the salad too...
3 handfuls spinach
1/2 avocado
2 tbsp goat cheese
1 vine ripe tomato
I'd like to dedicate this post to Sarah B., who was that weirdo in high school who always craved salads. Little did I know, she was on to something.
Thanks love!
Sarah
