Now that those hot summer days are here, all I want to eat for lunch and breakfast are salads – delicious, healthy and easy to make salads. And what can make any salad better? Some flavorful vegan salad dressings, of course!
Just because you’re following a vegan diet this doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy those crazy good salad dressings you loved so much before. Dairy-based salad dressings are very easy to ‘veganize’ and the end results are way healthier than any store-bought salad dressings. So trust me when I say that I must try making your own vegan salad dressings at home and I’m sure your salads won’t be bland anymore! A good dressing can turn any boring salad into a satisfying meal and you’ll be even happier to include more salads and veggies into your diet this way.
I invite you to check out this list with 10 of my favorite vegan salad dressings. As I said, all of them are extremely fast and easy to make – everyone can recreate them, even if they’re not an experienced cook. Just pick a vegan dressing that will go well with your desired salad, combine all the required ingredients and that’s it – your meal is ready!
