Salad Dressings

 

Salad dressing is a homogenization of oil and water. Spices and seasonings and fresh

vegetables or fruits are added to give the color flavor and sweet, tangy, savory flavor to

accent the vegetables. Cream dressings have a protein added in the form of some milk

product. The following recipes are good vegan versions of some popular flavors. For a

lower fat version cut the oil down to 1/3 the total amount and replace it with water. Use

some instant clear gel to thicken it.
