Lemon Poppyseed Dressing
There are many reasons to make salad dressings at home. Besides saving money, homemade salad dressing is super easy to make. I love that you can control the ingredients used, and my number one reason is that it’s a fun way to enjoy being creative in the kitchen!
If you’ve ever made a homemade salad dressing, you might have wondered why you bought bottled processed salad dressings at all.
For most, I’m sure it’s a matter of time, convenience, and how high nutrition ranks in your priorities.
But what if I could show you a few positive reasons for making homemade dressings that may change your mind forever?
- Besides being simple to make in minutes, homemade salad dressings are easier on your pocketbook. Most bottled and processed dressings will set you back $4-5 a bottle compared to $2-3 to make a comparable amount.
- Homemade salad dressings also tend to be healthier,
- Have fewer preservatives, chemicals, and artificial flavorings
- They typically taste better,
- They contain less sugar,
- And offer your gut some excellent qualities like better absorption of natural vitamins and minerals.
