Simple & Memorable Salad Dressings

The weather is getting warmer, so many vegetables are traveling shorter distances on their way to your plate. It's salad season!

We have concocted a list of summery, savory salad dressings to get your taste buds buzzing and hopefully inspire you to try some of your own.


Lime Dressing – A dressing with a soft tang.
  • Juice of one Lime
  • A couple tablespoons of oil (olive or walnut)
  • Salt and pepper to taste.

Dijon-Maple Dressing
– A heartier dressing.
  • A couple tablespoons of oil (olive)
  • One big teaspoon of dijon mustard
  • A splash of vinegar (I have been using the sherry wine vinegar lately)
  • One teaspoon of maple syrup
  • 1/2 tablespoon of fresh thyme leaves, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Smoked Paprika - A robust dressing.
  • A couple tablespoons of oil (olive or walnut)
  • A splash of sherry wine vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
