Easy Lemon Dijon Creamy Salad Dressing Dairy Free

About Me
Salad dressings are so easy to make and they are not only healthier than many store bought ones, they taste so much better too. Most importantly is that you know what ingredients are in them when you make your own.
I can't emphasize it enough for you to always READ your labels before you purchase salad dressings including organic ones. Be on the lookout for ingredients such as 'natural flavors', words you can't pronounce or don't know what they are. Natural flavors means there could be up to '100' ingredients that you don't know what they are including some you or your loved ones may have a negative reaction to such as msg.
Once you make your own you will be amazed how easy it is and you can have fun inviting your family, kids too, friends and guests to be creative and make their own delicious masterpieces. Trust me it's easy, fun & super yummy!
Here is a really quick and easy vinaigrette you can put together in minutes!
Lemon Dijon Creamy Vinaigrette
Prep 10 minutes
Servings 8 (2 Tbsps each)
Ingredients*
3/4 cup EVOO
1/4 cup apple cider or white vinegar
2 Tbsps fresh lemon juice ( 1 medium lemon)
3 cloves garlic peeled & minced
3 Tbsps Dijon mustard
1/4 +/- water to thin if desired
Salt & pepper to taste
Optional Spicier Versions
1/2 jalapeno seeded & minced
Dash Cayenne pepper
* Please use organic when available
Directions
Combine all the ingredients except the water into a high speed blender or food processor. You can whisk the ingredients in a bowl or jar for a chunkier less emusified version that although won't be as creamy is still delicious! Add water a tiny bit at a time if a thinner dressing is desired.
Enjoy on your salads, proteins, grains & eggs too.
Once you start making your own delicious dressings, I bet you might think twice before you buy the processed ones at the storeā¤ļø

About Me
My passion about health started in my teens when I first hand saw the effects of how illness can wreck havoc in a family growing up with parents who had serious health issues. I too struggled with losing weight & developed an eating disorder that I was able to heal by educating myself on healthier habits. Itās amazing what our bodies can do when we learn to take care of them like God intended. These experiences & challenges fueled my passion to be a life long student in pursuit of learning how to create healthier lifestyles where one can thrive at their optimal best. As a mother of 3 children & a wife of a traveling husband, I quickly learned how to implement healthy habits on the go so that I could be my healthy best for my family. This has evolved into my health coaching business Thriving With Health where I coach people to integrate simple & fun healthy 'bitesā throughout their day even on their most busiest & challenging ones. You are never too busy to take care of your health & I can show you how. Everyone has busy lifestyles and living at their optimum best is not only doable but can be fun as well!
