Homemade Honey Mustard

You can now make your favorite dressing at home, at least you’ll know exactly what you’re eating. All you need is 1/4 cup dijon mustard, 1/4 cup honey, 1/4 cup virgin oil. Add some salt and 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar. This is the best salad dressing you’ve ever tried. You can get creative with the ingredients and add more or less to your taste.

Homemade Greek Dressing

Possibly my favorite in the numerous healthy salad dressings out there. The Greeks have a super-delicious cuisine, known for the common use of oregano. For this recipe, you will need 1/4 cup virgin olive oil, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 2 tablespoons red vinegar, some salt, and pepper to your taste.
