Summer Salad Dressings

Summer time is salad time!

This is the time of year when we love eating fresh salads and summer produce. But it's easy to get in a rut with the same old salad dressings. I have 3 summer dressings that I always keep in the fridge that transform a salad from boring to absolutely delicious.....and they all pack a nutritious punch!

Tahini Drizzle
2 tbsp hulled tahini paste
1 lemon, juiced
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp warm water

Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and whisk well.

Tangy Citrus Dressing
½ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
½ tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp maple syrup or honey
sea salt and black pepper, to taste

Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and whisk well.

Creamy Basil Dressing
1 large handful basil leaves
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 lemon, juiced
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp grated organic parmesan (Leave out if dairy free)
Sea salt & black pepper to taste

Combine all of the ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. You may need to add 1 tbsp water to loosen the dressing.
