EASY 3 INGREDIENT SALAD DRESSINGS RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Tahini based dressings work well on hearty greens like kale, cabbage or even carrot salads. 1. Tahini + Roasted Garlic + Smoked Paprika + Water Sweet, fragrant roasted garlic pairs beautifully with nutty tahini, while smoked paprika lends intrigue and balance. Start with about 2 tablespoons of tahini, 6 cloves of roasted garlic, a pinch of smoked paprika, and a generous splash of water. Blend until smooth. Season to taste with kosher salt and more tahini or paprika to your liking. 2. Tahini + Orange Juice + Honey + Water Whisk together about 2 tablespoons of tahini with a splash of orange juice, a teaspoon of honey, and a splash of water until smooth. Season with kosher salt and more tahini or honey to taste. 3. Tahini + Apple Cider Vinegar + Sesame Oil + Water Whisk together about 2 tablespoons of tahini, 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar, 2 teaspoons of sesame oil, and a splash of water until smooth. Season to taste with kosher salt and more tahini or vinegar to your liking. Soft Cheese Dressings work well on slaws and grain salads. 4. Goat Cheese + Avocado + Red Pepper Flakes + Water Avocado lends a pretty pale green hue and makes this just-spicy-enough dressing even creamier. Blend together 2 ounces of goat cheese, half an avocado, a pinch of red pepper flakes, and a big splash of water. Season to taste with kosher salad and thin with more water if needed. 5. Queso Fresco + Cumin + Fresh Cilantro + Water This dressing took a quick trip to Mexico. Mild queso fresco provides the perfect backdrop for earthy cumin and pungent cilantro. Blend 2 ounces of queso fresco, a big pinch of ground cumin, a small handful of cilantro leaves, and a large splash of water until smooth. Season with kosher salt to taste. 6. Feta + Fresh Oregano + Honey + Water Salty, creamy feta is mellowed with fragrant oregano and sweet honey. Skip the crumbled cheese and try this on your next Greek salad, or simply drizzle it over sliced ripe tomatoes. Blend 2 ounces feta with about 1/2 teaspoon of oregano leaves, a teaspoon of honey, and a big splash of water. Season to taste with kosher salt and more honey to your liking. Yogurt based is all purpose. 7. Yogurt + Pesto Pesto is a powerhouse of flavor. Whether it's store-bought or homemade, it adds depth and dimension to the yogurt without even trying. Whisk together about 1/4 cup yogurt with 2 tablespoons pesto. Season with kosher salt and add more yogurt or pesto to taste. 8. Yogurt + Dijon Mustard + Sriracha Dijon brings extra tang, while Sriracha lends the spice and sweetness you're looking for. Combine 1/4 cup yogurt with 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard and a big squirt of Sriracha. Season with kosher salt and more yogurt, mustard, or Sriracha to taste. 9. Yogurt + Curry Powder + Lemon Juice Creamy yogurt has always been a good match for curry powder, as it tames its strong flavor. Lemon juice joins in to up the acid and keep it all balanced. Mix together about 1/4 cup yogurt, a big pinch of curry powder, and a big squeeze of lemon juice. Season to taste with kosher salt and more curry powder or lemon juice to your liking. Oil and Vinegar Based are General purpose. 10. Mashed Anchovies + Red Wine Vinegar + Garlic Think of this as a lighter, fuss-free version of Caesar dressing. Anchovies and garlic provide that umami kick, while tart red wine vinegar balances it out. Whisk together about 2 mashed anchovies, a big splash of red wine vinegar and 2 minced garlic cloves. Season to taste with kosher salt and more vinegar, if needed. 11. Olive Oil + Lime Juice + Smashed Fresh Raspberries A quick-and-easy take on raspberry vinaigrette, this fruit dressing is sweet, tart, and crowd-pleasing. Combine a large splash each of olive oil and lime juice with a small handful of smashed fresh raspberries. Season to taste with kosher salt. 12. Brown Butter + Sherry Vinegar + Shallot This dressing is the answer to an incredible warm spinach salad. But even at room temperature, this vinaigrette is buttery and satisfying. Mix together about 2 tablespoons of melted brown butter with a large splash of sherry vinegar and a tablespoon of minced shallot. Season to taste with kosher salt and more vinegar to your liking.
