Home Made Salad Dressings
I love to eat salads. It is the salad dressing that makes it healthy or unhealthy.
A healthy salad is often ruined by drenching it with a highly processed salad dressing from the super market which is not healthy as it is filled with artificial flavorings, colourings, preservatives, sugar, and white distilled vinegar (which is hard on the digestive system).
I always make my own salad dressings. This is a simple base recipe that you can make up different each time with a variety of herbs or types of salty flavours. This is the first of many recipes to be posted here.

A Revolutionary Simple Approach To Healthy Eating
Hi ~ Thanks for the recipes.
These are very similar to what I typically make, except you have stevia in yours.
I know lots of people add a touch of sweet to these dressings. Is it also a nutrition issue with stevia? I have read that it has some positive attributes nutritionally, besides being naturally sweet and non chemical. Your opinion is appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Yes I like to put a little stevia in to my dressings instead of honey as I find it a much healthier ingredient as we get way too much sugar as it is. See the article here: http://realfoodforlife.com/real-sugar/
i used Stevia extract as a sugar substitute because i am diabetic. Stevia is really sweeter than sucrose.~`*
I have been experimenting with Stevia products for about a year and I’m convinced it’s better than sugar in all uses. I think it tastes better, also.
