If you eat a lot of salad, chances are that you eat a lot of salad dressing. But why ruin a perfectly healthy salad with a bottle of store-bought salad dressing full of chemicals and preservatives? Making your own salad dressing is simple and much healthier than anything you will find in a store. When you make your own, you can omit ingredients you don't like and add in things that you do. You'll be amazed by how simple some fancy-sounding dressings are.
