Transform Your Salads with Dressings That Boost Your Health
Stop drowning greens in sugar and heavy oils. These five clean dressings are quick, bold, and body-kind. Use them to tame cravings, steady blood sugar, and make veggies vanish from the plate—“not my first rodeo.”
What you’ll get
5 easy dressings (no balsamic vinegar)
Real-food fats + fiber to curb spikes
Simple swaps for dairy-free, low-sodium, and budget
1) Lemon-Tahini Power (creamy, dairy-free)
3 Tbsp tahini
3 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 small garlic clove, minced (or ¼ tsp powder)
2–4 Tbsp water to thin
Pinch salt + pepper
Shake in a jar until silky.
2) Apple Cider Dijon (bright + balanced)
3 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
5 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp honey or date paste (optional)
Pinch salt + pepper
Whisk until glossy.
3) Avocado-Lime Cream (gut-soothing)
½ ripe avocado
2 Tbsp lime juice
2 Tbsp water (more to thin)
1 Tbsp olive oil
¼ tsp cumin + pinch salt
Blend until smooth.
4) Ginger-Miso Sesame (umami boost)
1 Tbsp white miso
1 Tbsp rice vinegar or lemon juice
4 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp grated ginger
1 tsp toasted sesame oil
Splash water to loosen
Whisk to combine.
5) Turmeric Yogurt Glow (protein-rich)
½ cup plain Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt)
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp olive oil
½ tsp turmeric + pinch black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder + salt to taste
Stir until creamy.
How to use (Mama rule: “Measure twice, cut once.”)
Toss 1–2 Tbsp per serving; add protein (beans, tofu, eggs, fish) to keep you full.
Store in sealed jars 5–7 days (avocado version: 2–3 days).
Thin with water, not more oil, to keep calories in check.
Why this works
Fat + fiber slow sugar spikes.
Acid + herbs cut cravings.
Protein steadies mood and energy.
