What do you need to make a delicious at-home salad dressing free from garlic, onions and all alliums? Just a few simple ingredients.

These are the eight essential items you need in your pantry to make endless homemade dressings. I keep these on hand at all times. When I’m making a vinaigrette I use an organic extra virgin olive olive that doesn’t have an incredibly strong flavor. I save my most expensive grassy, polyphenol rich extra virgin olive oils for when I want the flavor of the oil to shine.

Let’s make my Lemon Tahini Dressing. This dressing, sauce, dip, thick or thin it is lick your bowl delicious.

It’s been over a decade since I’ve had a proper Caesar salad. As a kid, I loved when my parents would order a Caesar salad at swank old school restaurants, and they would make the Caesar salad tableside. It used to be a “thing” similar to having guac prepared tableside.

The base of this salad is layered veggies for crunch, creaminess, texture, and flavor. I’ve made a few variations of this salad and it’s always hearty, filling, and delicious. Added bonus it’s vegan - I’m not but the salad is 😉

We love salad in our house. I find a good dressing makes all the difference and this vinaigrette will make all of your salads even more delicious.
