28 Quick and Easy Homemade Salad Dressing Recipes

No more boring salads… ever! These easy homemade salad dressing recipes will make you want to scarf salads all Summer long!

So as I’m sure you can already tell, I’m a bit of a topping fanatic. I love my cheese, nuts, seeds, herbs and sauces with a fiery passion. It’s rare you’ll find a recipe on this blog that isn’t garnished with a pile of my favorites because, in my opinion, life is way too short to eat boring food. Ice cream is always more fun with sprinkles and salads? Way tastier with a pile of goodies and a finger-licking dressing! Here are a few  favorites to help jazz up your Summer salads:

Dressings hold a special place in my heart because they taste good on just about everything! Whether it’s a jumbo bowl-o-veggies, a entree-turned-salad, a plate of tacos, or even as a dip… I’ll eat it any and every way. I won’t even pretend I don’t lick the mixing bowl when I make them, I totally do!

Before this post turns into another love letter to my food, let’s get our dressing on! I know I’ve already done a round-up of my favorites from the blog, but it wasn’t enough. I needed MORE dressing! [cue mad scientist laugh]
