Throwing together a salad is the easiest way to pull together a healthy meal. To create a balanced and nutritious salad, try this formula topped with one of our simple dressing recipes:
  • 2 cups greens
  • 1 cup high-fiber hard or firm veggies (broccoli, asparagus) and fruits (apples, pears)
  • 1/2 cup cooked grains (quinoa, wild rice, millet)
  • 1/2 cup protein (meat, hard-boiled eggs, tofu, beans)
  • 2 Tbsp fat (nuts, seeds, dressing)

Easiest Salad Dressing Ever
Ingredients:
  • ¾ cup oil (olive, walnut, sunflower, or avocado) 
  • ¼ cup vinegar (red wine, white wine, apple cider, or balsamic) or a combo of vinegars 
  • and a pinch of salt. 
Whisk these ingredients together and call it delicious. Good ingredients make all the difference so buy the best quality you can reasonably afford. Makes 8 servings.
 

Garlic Vinaigrette From In the Green Kitchen by Alice Waters
Raw garlic gives this dressing a spicy punch (vampires beware). Makes 4 servings
Ingredients:
  • 1 small garlic clove
  • salt
  • 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
  • fresh-ground black pepper
  • 3-4 Tbsp olive oil
Put the garlic and 2 big pinches of salt in a mortar and pound into a puree, with no chunks remaining. Add the wine vinegar, grind in some black pepper and taste for a balance of salt and vinegar. Allow this to macerate for a few minutes, and whisk in olive oil. Taste the dressing with a leaf of lettuce. It should taste bright and lively without being too acidic or too oily; adjust the salt, vinegar, or oil as needed.
 

Honey Dijon Dressing
This dressing pairs well with...well, everything!
  • 3 Tbsp walnut or olive oil
  • 2 tsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • sea salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
Simply whisk all the ingredients together until well mixed.
