Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup mayo
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley or 1 teaspoon fresh
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • cracked pepper to taste
  • 1/4 lemon, squeezed 1/2 tablespoon, or 1 drop lemon EO

Instructions

  • Place ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
  • Store in container in the fridge for up to two weeks.

Notes

  • The best oils for salad dressing are olive oil and avocado oil, due to their health benefits and high omega-3 content. Many salad dressings are made with unhealthy oils like vegetable, canola, corn, or soybean oil. See more information about these oils below.
  • Swap out the dried herbs for fresh if you have fresh available.
  • You can use 1 drop of essential oils in place of the lemon juice in the honey mustard and ranch dressing recipe. I wouldn’t recommend it in the lemon vinaigrette recipe, though.
  • Make these dressings from scratch by using homemade mayo, raw milk sour cream, and fresh herbs from the garden.
