Friday Quickie: DIY Salad Dressing

One of my FAVORITE things that I used to buy (but now realize) but is a waste of money is salad dressing.

They pull you in with fancy labels and delicious-sounding names, but with organic dressings in the upwards of $3-5, the price can add up too fast.

Make your own salad dressings with Olive Oil and vinegar (apple cider, red wine and balsamic – OH MY). Add in some herbs, mustards, cheese or other ingredients and you’re set!

I also have a few fancy clear dressing bottles, one of which that even has salad dressing ‘recipes’ on it!

Feeling uncreative? The food network has 50 salad dressing recipes to choose from.
