Healthy salad dressings are all about using nutrient-dense healthy oils, avoiding added sugar, and maintaining the absence of preservatives. From vinaigrette and avocado lime to tahini and yoghurt, the options are endless. Here are a few to try.

Lemon Vinaigrette

This is a bright, zesty, versatile salad dressing made from a simple mix of fresh lemon juice, olive oil, honey, salt, pepper, and seasonings.

Balsamic Vinaigrette

This one is an emulsion-based dressing featuring the rich, mildly sweet, and tangy flavor of balsamic vinegar mixed with the goodness of extra virgin olive oil.

Avocado Lime

This creamy, dairy-free salad dressing is made by simply blending one avocado, Greek yogurt, lime juice, cilantro, and garlic.

Greek Yoghurt Ranch

This high-protein, low-fat alternative to regular ranch includes plain Greek yogurt, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried herbs like dill, chives, and parsley.

Miso Tahini Dressing

This creamy, dairy-free, vegan salad dressing is all about mixing tahini (creamy paste made from sesame seeds), lemon juice, miso, and soy sauce.
