With Summer finally here and folks looking for a fast but healthy meal, salads are in! Here you'll find 10 Easy Salad Dressings You can Make at Home that are sure to match any salad you want to make.  Creating homemade dressings, dips and sauces are a favorite at our house. We LOVE salads at our house, all different kinds of salads.  These will also save on your budget.

I started making my own salad dressing long ago. I learned from my Mom who made a deelish simple dressing…she would simply add a heaping tablespoon of mayo, a splash of Worcestershire Sauce, a bit of apple cider vinegar and salt and pepper directly to her salad. No jars of pre made, just boom right there and then.  It was fresh and oh so tasty!

10 Delicious Easy Homemade Salad Dressings

Now we don't always make our own salad dressings and sometimes our dressing is "semi" homemade, but still fresh and yummy.  We also love to make our own dipping sauces …for chicken, veggies…whatever.  People just like to dip!

The above pictured salad dressing is actually "semi" homemade. I used it over this easy Taco Chicken Salad w/ Southwestern Salsa . It is simply a mixture of Ranch Dressing and a packet of Taco Seasoning…add as much seasoning as you like to taste.  Yep that's it for that recipe! LOL

How long does homemade salad dressing last?

Vinaigrette's can be kept refrigerated for up to 2 weeks and sometimes a little longer due to the acidity of the vinegar.  Dressings that have dairy in them such as sour cream, buttermilk should only be refrigerated for 1 week.

There simply isn't anything better than homemade salad dressings and once you get the hang of it, you'll want to ditch the store bought…mostly and make your own. I've made different variations of the following dressings over the years and yum!

Thank you to The Kitchn for this simple Balsamic Vinaigrette, I LOVE Balsamic anything!
