(Last Updated On: September 6, 2021)

I’m probably like most of you. The idea of making my own salad dressing, when there are so many in easy reach on the grocers shelf, seems like a waste of precious time. But here’s an idea that will elevate your salad to a new level – by using the ingredients that you were going to use in the salad to make the dressing.

This easy recipe blends together everything for a perfect summer salad, with a few simple additions. And the citrus and ginger flavor combination is addicting!

I actually never buy salad dressing-- its always such a disappointment! And dressings are so easy to make-- as in this one. Love the flavor combinations! Thanks for a new dressing to try.
