DIY Salad Dressings :: 5 Quick, Popular Dressings The Whole Family Will Love!

April 14, 2014

Replace store bought dressings with healthier versions using these 5 DIY salad dressings that taste just like the real thing!

DIY Salad Dressings :: 5 Quick, Popular Dressings The Whole Family Will Love!

Happy salad season to you!

While I can hardly wait to get some lettuce greens into my ground (Come on ground! Thaw out already!), we are already craving crisp, fresh salads this early spring! During the spring and summer, salads are on our table almost daily – especially once they start overtaking my garden! I make a different salad dressing every week, and that keeps taste buds happy and salads fun and interesting all season.

DIY Salad Dressings :: 5 Recipes The Whole Family Will Love!

Why not just grab a bottle of dressing at the grocery store? Or better yet – an organic one at the health food store?

So glad you asked! Store bought salad dressings are one of the most “green washed” products on the market if you ask me. Just because a label says organic or “lite”, or seems “healthy” – sometimes it isn’t.

One way I keep myself with getting frustrated over what products are safe and which are not is by reading ingredient lists. Not the calories, grams, or the percentages of fat. I’m talking the little list of what is actually *in* that darn bottle you will be putting in your body! And for dressings, it’s pretty easy in my book. Toxic, rancid, hydrogenated, GMO and PUFA filled oils like soybean oil, vegetable oil, and canola oil should never be on the ingredient list. Period. The inflammation those oils make in the body just isn’t worth it. And it is incredibly hard to come by salad dressings in the store that don’t have at least one of those oils. THIS is a great resource to learn about the difference between the different oils.

So here are some dressing options! I’m all about simple, FAST, and flavor! I’m talking throw everything into a jar and shake it up. Each one of these won’t take you more than 5 minutes to make up and it will last a week or 2 in your fridge. And the flavor will blow you away!


Easy Ranch Dressing

A kid favorite anytime! This Ranch dressing has passed the kid test at play date after play date in my house with kids from every background!

Easy Ranch Dressing

Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cup whole milk sour cream
  • 1/3 cup whole raw milk if you are dairy free or don't have access to raw, use whole coconut milk
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • 1 tsp parsley
  • 1 ½ tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground pepper

Instructions

  • Everything into a pint jar and stir up. If you want a thicker, “dip” sort of Ranch for carrot sticks, etc, you can leave out the milk or only add a few splashes. If you rather it runnier then you can add more milk.

Notes

Full fat coconut yogurt swaps for the sour cream well if you are dairy free. I have also found that a small avocado swaps for the sour cream as long as you add a bit more coconut milk, as another dairy free version. The dressing will be light green this way, but still taste like Ranch!

Easy French Dressing

From easy weeknight salads to Taco Tuesday taco salads, this French dressing is also quite the kid favorite!

Easy French Dressing

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Everything into a pint jar with a tight lid and shake well to combine. Shake before each use as well. This dressing is also a great one to use on taco salad night - it is very similar to the "catelina" type dressings some restaurants use on taco salads

Notes

You can use an immersion blender to blend this dressing and it will emulsify even more than shaking it to become creamier in texture.

DIY Italian Dressing Mix & Italian Dressing

A pasta night classic for salads, or toss in a pasta salad for that summer picnic! Loaded with healthy, anti-inflammatory oil that you can feel good about having every week!

DIY Italian Dressing Mix & Italian Dressing

Ingredients

Italian Dressing Seasoning Mix:

Italian Dressing:

Instructions

To make the Italian Dressing Seasoning Mix:

  • Add all of the seasonings together in a small container with a lid (empty spice jars work great), put the lid on and shake it up to combine. Also tastes great to sprinkle on stir fry or to a roasted chicken! This doubles up great too!

To make the Italian Dressing:

  • Everything into a pint jar with a tight fitting lid and shake well to combine. Shake well before each use and store in the fridge.

Notes

You can use an immersion blender to blend this dressing and it will emulsify even more than shaking it to become creamier in texture.

Just Like Store Bought Thousand Island Dressing

This was a favorite of mine as a kid, and it was such a happy day when I figured out how to make it on my own!

Just Like Store Bought Thousand Island Dressing

Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole sour cream
  • ¼ cup organic ketchup
  • Juice of 1 lemon about 2-3 TB
  • 1- 1 ½ TB raw honey local if possible!
  • ¼ cup finely chopped pickles I like using Bubbies or my own fermented pickles, so we get the natural fermented probiotics!
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • black pepper

Instructions

  • Everything into a pint jar and stir together. Store in the fridge. If you want a thicker Thousand Island for spreading on a sandwich or wrap add more sour cream.

Notes

For a dairy free version, try full fat coconut yogurt!

Fiesta Salad Dressing

This is such a fun change up for taco salad night! Creamy and so satisfying!

Fiesta Salad Dressing

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of your favorite salsa we get Mateo's at Costco
  • ½ avocado
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • cup whole sour cream
  • 2 tsp taco season I use my homemade blend

Instructions

  • Everything into a processor or blender to blend together. Store in a pint jar in the fridge. If you want it thicker for spreading on sandwiches or wraps add more avocado or sour cream.

Notes

Try coconut yogurt to swap for the sour cream to make it dairy free!

Ok! So keep me posted on which dressings you are loving! And by the way! Treat yourself to a salad spinner if you don’t already have one! You can wash up and have ready to go salad everyday of the week in your fridge! My routine is pick from the garden and wash up right away, into the salad spinner, and into the crisper in the fridge! It keeps much longer!

    It is hard to try these as most of these contain dairy.

    • Reply Renee Kohley April 14, 2014 at 6:43 am

      Hi Amber! Bummer – I have so been there – dairy free for about a year while healing some tummy issues. 2 of the 5 recipes on here are dairy free – the Italian and French dressings. I hope those work for you! If you can do eggs you could make mayo to replace the sour cream in the other recipes – I probably should have added that to the post and may still add it in. I have done it that way with the Thousand Island before. I have a close nephew that is egg free so I just don’t use a lot of eggs right now.

      • Reply Renee Kohley April 14, 2014 at 6:44 am

        Oh! And the Fiesta Dressing you definitely can leave out the sour cream and it still is super yummy! You can add a little more of the avocado or even some coconut milk yogurt if you wish! So theres 3 to pick from 🙂

        Even if someone is egg-free we can make our own mayo using AquaFaba from the drained bean water. It emulsifies just like egg and makes a great mayo. Wonderful list of good dressings. Thank you!
