Hey Hi Hellooooo! It’s a new day and we’re making our own homemade salad dressings!

I have a secret. Well, it’s not really a secret kind of secret, but it’s something I haven’t told you. Ready? O – kay.

I do not buy salad dressings. Ever. Ev-er. Never.

I grew up on the oh so popular and oh so cheap combo of oil + vinegar salad dressing, and since my parents never bothered to buy a bottle of the premade dressings stuff, I just never got into it!

To make your own salad dressings, all you need is a whisk and a mixing bowl. At times, you might also whip out a jar or a blender. That’s it.
