It’s around this time of year that I get back into eating big salads at meal times! Not for every meal, of course, but I start to crave fresh veggies in the spring, and it’s a great time to be celebrating all the beautiful produce that’s on the shelves. Over the years, I’ve developed quite a library of salad dressings that I love…and I’m a BIG dressing gal. I’m definitely not one who enjoys eating my salad with just a squeeze of lemon and a drizzle of olive oil! I like mixing up these dressings to have in my fridge, because they’re easy, healthy, and really make me reach for my greens more than if I don’t have them on hand. The Cilantro Lime dressing is also a great one for over fish and grilled veggies! I sometimes use my Mama’s Vinaigrette as a super simple marinade for chicken before you put it on the grill. Try these all out, and let me know which are your faves!
