Salad Dress-Ups
Light & Tasty Magazine 2003
Serving your salad with homemade dressing means you can control the amount of fat, calories and sodium…plus you can tailor the flavor to meet your family’s tastes. Keep these tips in mind:
The classic ratio of 1 part vinegar or lemon juice to 3 parts oil in dressings can differ depending on personal preferences. Many people add more vinegar for more zip.
Dress salad greens lightly just before serving so they won’t become wilted and limp. Too much dressing will weigh down the ingredients and mask their flavors.
Onion or garlic powder perks up the flavor in any dressing without adding salt, and helps keep it blended.
Next time your dressing calls for lemon juice or vinegar, try lime juice – it’s wonderful on salad greens or fresh fruits.
For a more robust flavor, add fresh lemon juice, basil, marjoram and oregano to your homemade dressing.
