A New Outlook on Salad Dressing

Whether you're a salad lover or a salad skeptic, the dressing you use can play a huge role in the taste, texture, and nutritional value of your dish. A great dressing can make a salad luscious, flavorful, crave-worthy, satisfying, and loaded with nutrients. Conversely, a sub-par dressing can make a salad boring, bland, and even unhealthy. Choosing the right healthy salad dressing recipe is a key step toward enjoying more salads, eating more fresh and colorful produce, and getting more nutrients.

In this post, I share some basic principles of homemade vegan salad dressing recipes including core ingredients, ratios, and substitutions. After that, most of the post is a compilation of the BEST plant based salad dressing recipes from vegan food creators around the world. Our overall goal is to help you eat more salads and to make those salads delicious, fulfilling, and nutritious.

Why is Homemade Salad Dressing Better?

I always advocate for making your own dressing rather than buying it. Many store-bought dressings contain large amounts of low-quality oil and salt. Ones marketed as "oil-free" or "low-fat" compensate by adding sugar. Many store-bought dressings contain preservatives to extend their shelf-life and stabilizers or gums to enhance the texture.

There are many benefits to creating your own plant based salad dressing recipes at home. Most importantly, you can control the ingredients and their quality. Making your own dressing also means you can control the batch size. Instead of relying on a generic dressing until the bottle is empty, you can be creative with small-batch healthy salad dressing recipes; no two salads will ever be the same! As an added benefit, you'll be enjoying your dressing when it's freshest. Making your own can even save you money and minimizes wasted packaging.

Once you start making your own dressings, you'll never want to go back to store-bought.

My Turmeric Tahini Drizzle, above, developed such an Instagram fan club that I had to create a separate blog post for it. Make sure to check out the post for the recipe and lots of variations. This is the dressing I make most frequently at home. Tahini makes an excellent salad dressing base that is decadent and protein-rich, with no oil needed.

Homemade Salad Dressing Basics

How Do I Make Healthy Salad Dressing?

First, let's start with the basics. What are the main components of a healthy salad dressing recipe? While salad dressings are infinitely variable, many have the following core ingredients:

  • Fat. This is what makes a dressing luscious, and also what helps it stick to the veggies. Blended avocado, tahini, high-quality oils, almond butter, yogurt, and blended nuts all make good (and healthier) bases for vegan salad dressing recipes. Don't try to make a dressing without a fatty component, it will end up thin and disappointing. The fat actually helps your body absorb the nutrients from those beautiful veggies and makes your salad more satisfying and filling.
  • Acid. Something acidic is what makes a dressing come alive. This includes any sort of citrus juice or vinegar, and is key to making a dressing bright and flavorful.
  • Other flavorings. Extra flavor components make these plant based salad dressing recipes unique and can include anything from herbs to spices to garlic to fruit. Adding a few vibrant, super-tasty elements makes a salad exciting, can help it match a specific meal, or can evoke a certain cultural heritage.

Okay, so now what? Where do you start if you want to create your own vegan salad dressing recipes? My suggestion is to pick a culture or a season as your starting point; that will push you in a specific direction. Once you've settled on the flavor profile you're trying to achieve, pick a fat and acid to match. Finally, add in a few different flavor powerhouses. Make sure to taste and adjust as you go. If you follow this formula (inspiration, fat, acid, other flavors), you'll be creating your own healthy salad dressing recipes in no time.

Batch Sizes and Uses

One of the best things about homemade salad dressings is that you're in control of the batch size. Most of these vegan salad dressing recipes keep great in the fridge for at least a few days; if you make a big batch over the weekend, you'll have great ways to dress up your veggies all week long. On the other hand, I really enjoy making a customized dressing every time I make a salad in order to match the flavor profile I'm working with. Vinaigrettes are especially friendly for micro-batches and take only a minute or two to whip up. Most of the ideas below can easily be scaled up or down as needed.

One final thought before we dive into this big, beautiful compilation of plant based salad dressing recipes. Salad dressings aren't just for salad; any of the ideas below would be great drizzled over roasted or grilled veggies or over a bowl-style meal. The thicker ones work well as dips for veggies, chips, or crackers. So make sure to bookmark this page and come back to it again and again!

The BEST Plant Based Salad Dressing Recipes

To get you started, here are a bunch of healthy salad dressing recipes, listed in alphabetical order by dressing name. A couple are from me, but most are from other wonderfully creative food bloggers from around the world. You can either follow the recipe exactly, or use these ideas as springboards to inspire your own vegan salad dressing recipes. Remember, there's no "right" way to do this, so dressings are a great opportunity for creativity and customization.

I fell in love with this dressing as soon as Andrea posted it, and I've made it many times since then. It's the most wonderful, unexpected combination of flavors, and is both cozy and fresh. Andrea likes to use it on a potato and cucumber salad for summer. Change it up by using Dijon mustard instead of honey mustard, using honey instead of maple syrup, or varying the herbs.

A healthy salad dressing recipe for summer, shown with fresh peaches

This is my favorite dressing to make during the summer. It's light, bright, and pairs beautifully with any salad involving fruit and/or fresh herbs. It also takes about one minute to make, so it's a great last-minute dressing or marinade. Change it up by using any fruity, infused balsamic.

  • 2 tbsp good, robust olive oil
  • 2 tbsp coarse-grained mustard, ideally homemade

I am a Hidden Valley Ranch dressing fan. I also have now been put on a salt free diet. I have been trying to find a Cauliflower dressing that I can make myself. Few ingredients as possible. Do you have a recipe?
Lee

Mary- Thanks for your question. What an interesting idea, I've never tried to make a cauliflower-based dressing. I'd try blending some steamed cauliflower with some unsweetened, thick, full-fat yogurt and classic ranch herbs (maybe dill?). I'd also consider adding a dash of vinegar since it can often help flavors come alive in the same way that salt does. Please let us know if you try it, I'm now very intrigued by this!
