Some of you may know that I don’t love salad dressing, so this post may come to you as a surprise.
Lately I’ve been trying to incorporate more salads into my daily eating. So, I’ve been trying to figure out how to make my salads more exciting.
First I started adding different types of lettuces, then I added some nuts for that crunch, and then decided to experiment with some olive oil and juices until I came up with the most perfect vinaigrette!
What’s the difference between a dressing and a vinaigrette?
Dressing is usually mayonnaise based, and I don’t eat mayonnaise.
That’s why I avoid dressings.
Vinaigrette is oil with acid and spices, and I found the perfect mix of ingredients to make my salads taste delicious!
Sometimes all you need a simple salad, with a delicious crunch, and a dressing that has the perfect balance of tangy and sweet citrusy dressing.
I’ve got the perfect one for you!
Salad Recipe:
Romaine lettuce

@yumtee_nuts Roasted slivered almonds
Slice the cucumber diagonally, cut the tomatoes in half down the center. Mix everything together and enjoy!
Citrus Dressing recipe:
6 T olive oil
2 Tablespoons lime juice (juice of 1 lime)
3 tablespoons lemon juice
4 tablespoons orange juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons honey

Fresh squeezed juice is best
Mix the vinaigrette ingredients in a dressing bottle, you will have enough dressing for a few salads, obviously depending on the size of your salad.
