hi...i just registered for the forum, set up a blog, posted an intro & now i'm ready to ask for some help. lol :o

i've been struggling w/ finding a salad dressing that i like & can eat every day. i've made a few recipes but haven't found one i like yet.

is balsamic vinegar raw? so far, the best i've come up w/ is olive oil, balsamic vinegar & some italian seasonings...but i want something more, i find that too light.

the dressings i use now are made by annie's...the balsamic vinegrette, the goddess dressing (i love this!) & a shitake mushroom vinegrette (this one not so much, but i love it on avacado & tomato!). anyone have any suggestions to make something similar to these?

i tried making a goddess dressing, from the post w/ the kale chips/goddess dressing & i didn't like it at all. not sure what i didn't like about it either & just haven't been able to tweek anything to my liking.

any help would be appreciated.

Hey there! Balsalmic vinegar is not raw. Apple Cider Vinegar (Bragg's brand) is. Have you done a search for salad dressings? There are oodles on this forum.

Hello!
I was trying to duplicate something I ran out of but made a much tastier dressing!

Juice from Half a Lemon
Sea salt to taste (I usually do a couple small pinches)
A dash Of Pepper
2-3 Cloves of Garlic

I juice the lemon in a bowl, I cut and smash the garlic to let all the flavor come out, add that to the lemon juice add salt & pepper....Yum!
This is my favorite!

thanks :) i'll try that and also search the forum again. just wondering if anyone had a recipe close to the dressings that i like ;)

i like something heavier like the goddess dressing sometimes, and the annie's balsamic vinegrette isn't too light. i thought balsamic vinegar was raw...oops! ;) the lemon juice and oil just seems like it will be a bit too light for me, but i'll give it a try...won't know til i do! ;) i also like ALOT of dressing on my salads.

thanks for the help.
