Homemade or store-bought?
I'll be the first to say both actually as sometimes the convenience of store-bought can help us eat more vegetables and leafy greens even if we don't have time to prep dressings from scratch.
But...
Here are some reasons why, when you can, you should opt into making DIY dressings:
1️⃣ Freshness: Homemade dressings are packed with flavor & nutrients, thanks to using fresh, unprocessed ingredients. Bye-bye, additives!
2️⃣ Control: Customize your dressing to fit your dietary preferences & needs, whether it's low-sodium, vegan, or allergy-friendly. You're the boss!
3️⃣ Health: Ditch the hidden sugars, unhealthy fats, & preservatives in store-bought options, and embrace the wholesome goodness of your own creations.
4️⃣ Variety: Tired of the same old flavors? Experiment with herbs, spices, vinegars, and oils for endless delicious possibilities.
