Published Jun 6, 2022
  • Lemon-Herb Dressing. This dressing is one of my go-to’s when I’m making a pasta salad. It has a little bit of everything in it—lemon zest, fresh herbs like parsley and thyme, and olive oil.
  • Orange-Honey Vinaigrette. I love this dressing because it’s so simple: just orange juice, honey, olive oil, mustard powder (or Dijon), vinegar, salt and pepper!
  • Pesto Dressing. Pesto is typically made out of fresh basil leaves, pine nuts (or walnuts), parmesan cheese, salt/pepper/olive oil/butter and garlic powder/onion powder—you get the idea!
  • Honey-Mustard Dressing. This dressing is a great way to add a little sweetness and spice to your salad. It’s also an excellent way to enjoy the flavors of honey and mustard, which are two of my favorite ingredients.
  • Avocado Ranch Dressing. If you’re looking for a creamy dressing for your meal, this is the one for you. Avocado Ranch Dressing contains all the good stuff: avocado, ranch, sour cream, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder and cilantro.
