3 Easy Homemade Salad Dressings [with Avocado Oil]

I rarely have store-bought salad dressings in my fridge for two reasons. #1, there aren’t many pre-made dressings out there that don’t have some kind of ingredient that I don’t want in my salad dressings, whether it is sugar, or some weird processed oil or preservative. And #2, they are SO easy to make, and most of the time you already have all of the ingredients you need right in your fridge or pantry!

My two favorite oils to make dressings and vinaigrettes with are extra virgin olive oil and avocado oil. Today, I used avocado oil from NOW Foods in all of these vinaigrettes, I love the neutral flavor that avocado oil gives to these recipes. It is such a subtle flavor that you can use it in almost any kind of vinaigrette and it won’t overpower the other flavors.
