Summer means delicious salad fixin’s. Use the dressing recipes below to create countless salad variations. Along with a wide variety of salad greens and fresh spinach as a base for your creations, you can also try a Massaged Kale Salad or Celery Top Salad. Mix in everything from thinly sliced or grated radishes, to chopped celery, cherry tomatoes, sliced stone fruit, fresh herbs, and any number of other veggies or fruits you may have on hand.
These dressings add a nice accent to greens, especially when you include nuts, seeds, or even rice noodles. If time is short, simply drizzle olive oil and your choice of vinegar over salad fixin’s in a large bowl, sprinkle with salt and pepper, toss, and serve!
