Spring means healthy salads, right? But shop-bought dressings can be loaded with sugar and salt, so for all the salad-fanatics out there, today I share some of my favourite healthy, homemade dressings. Note: in these mini recipes, “T” means tablespoon and ‘t’ means teaspoon!

1. Lemony Hummus Dressing

1 T Apple cider vinegar
1/2 Lemon
2 T Hummus
Mix together in a bowl
So super simple!

2. Tangy Citrus Mustard Dressing

1 T Olive oil
2 T Lime juice (or grapefruit juice)
2 t Apple cider or balsamic vinegar
1 t Dijon mustard (or 1 T if you’re a big fan like me!)
1 t Rice malt syrup or honey
Pepper and salt to taste
Mix together in a bowl, or shake up in a jar.
My favourite condiment of all time, mustard!

3. Creamy Avocado Dressing

½ Soft avocado
1 T Coconut yoghurt
1 T Olive oil
1 T Apple cider or balsamic vinegar

Salt & pepperBlitz together in a food processor or blender.
When you feel like something a little bit creamy.

4. Tahini Dressing

Salt to taste
Stir and drizzle!
This combo drizzled over steamed or baked veggies or a leafy salad

5. Balsamic Vinaigrette
