Don’t buy bottled dressing with countless ingredients and just try this one! Lemon and garlic bring a world of zing to any salad, fancy or plain.

Thanks to my mom, I was introduced to this oil-free dressing that manages to maintain all of the brightness and acidity that I love in a dressing.
I adore fresh pesto. It is so easy to make and brings incredible flavor to everything: pasta, sandwiches, grilled vegetables, rice, pizza—it’s an addition of something lovely every time. Traditional pesto calls for Parmesan cheese but this one simply omits it and ups the ante with extra pine nuts and lemon. Besides, shouldn’t the basil be the star?
If you love avocado, making it into a dressing is a great way to try it. This dressing is especially good when it’s massaged into curly kale.
We love this sweet and tangy salsa best with the Caribbean burritos but it would be just as good with a simple handful of tortilla chips or on top of an enchilada for a tropical spin.
For obvious, basil-and-corn-related reasons, this salsa is best on wonderfully hot summer days.
You probably read “Thousand Island Dressing” and immediately thought of salads. Well, California is home to an world-famous burger shop called In ‘N’ Out. They make simple burgers—toasted bun, burger, tomato, lettuce, onion, etc.—but they also slather on a generous amount of Thousand Island Dressing instead of ketchup and mustard. I say all of this to tell anyone who’s tried and loved this burger that you can recreate this burger at home, but with all plant-based ingredients! This Thousand Island dressing is completely vegan (as long as you get vegan Worchestershire sauce) and is great on burgers, sandwiches, as dip, and of course, on salads.
Not all salad dressings have to be oil-and-vinegar ones. This dressing will take “crisp and refreshing” salads to a whole new level, adding a citrusy, tangy, and slightly sweet note to any bed of greens. (I like it best on fresh chopped romaine, like the Romaine Citrus Salad).
This versatile dressing can be used on salads but also works great as a dip.
