Simple Dressing for Fresh Salads

Looking for a simple dressing for fresh salads? This easy homemade recipe uses basic ingredients and delivers a fresh, balanced flavor that pairs perfectly with crisp greens and seasonal vegetables. Quick to make, easy to customize, and far better than store-bought.

Storage tip:

The dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for 5–7 days in a tightly sealed jar or container. Before using, remove it from the fridge for a few minutes and shake well, as the ingredients may separate.

If you notice any off smell, change in color, or unusual taste, it’s best to discard the dressing.
