Salad Dressings
Balsamic Shallot Vinaigrette
This recipe is a timeless classic that you can whip up quickly for absolutely any type of salad. If you can, really try to use avocado oil instead of regular olive oil because it just gives it that little something extra. And if you're looking for a hint of sweetness, add a small dollop of honey.

Creamy Avocado Dressing
I have always maintained that an avo a day keeps the doctor away, and I will stand by my words! The fruit—more specifically, berry(!)—is full of potassium and good fats, and of course, it tastes delicious! This creamy dressing is a great addition to any salad, taco or chicken meal.

French Dressing
I love this sweet-yet-tangy French dressing, and it's one of those that kids seem to like too. What's also great is that you're more than likely to have all the ingredients in your hoe already, so you can make this in a flash at any time.

Smokey Tomato Vinaigrette
This recipe is both vegan and gluten-free, and the thing that really gives it that edge is the addition of liquid smoke. It gives it a fantastically delicious smokey taste that's almost a bit bacon-y in flavor. I'd definitely try this on pasta, too!

Blue Cheese Dressing
Blue cheese is one of my all-time favorite types of cheese, so this is something that I make a lot – although I add in more cheese than the recipe suggests. Not only is this rich, creamy dressing great on a salad, but it also makes a fantastic dip for Buffalo wings, French fries, chips… you name it!

Bacon Ranch Dressing
Everyone loves a good ranch dressing, right? It's great for salads or as a dip for practically anything, in my opinion. So what can make it even better? Bacon. Always. Add. Bacon. You can keep this is the fridge for about one to two weeks in a sealed, air-tight container.

Lemon Vanilla Dressing
I felt a bit dubious when I first read this recipe; I mean, lemon and vanilla? It just sounds weird. But after some digging around, it seems that a lot of people have been pleasantly surprised with their homemade batches, so now I'm itching to try it myself. The recipe calls for a specific type of vanilla bean paste, but if you struggle to find it, just replace it with one vanilla pod (split open and seeds scraped out).

Honey Mustard Vinaigrette
Honey and mustard is another classic combination in the food world, so you know this one is going to turn out well. Just make sure to use a good quality mustard and one that isn't too strong so that it doesn't overpower the other flavors. This also makes a delicious marinade.

Miso Sesame Ginger Dressing
This dressing is fantastic for a little bit of Asian inspiration, and the main ingredients are really, really good for you. The miso gives it a nice nutty flavor – combine that with the other strong flavors and you get a taste explosion! It lasts quite long in the fridge (about a month) and also tastes great on a good stir fry.

Basil Honey Dressing
The thing that I really love about this recipe is that it is so very simple (just four ingredients), yet it really packs a punch in terms of flavor. I grow my own basil so I'm always looking for new ways to use it, and this versatile dressing is the way to go! You can even drizzle it on a quiche, fish or anything that needs a bit of a pick-me-up.

Thousand Island Dressing
Thousand Island dressing is one of those staple sauces that helps you get your kids to eat their salad, so why aren't you making your own yet? This also adds a great depth of flavor to homemade burgers – both beef and chicken.

Raspberry Vinaigrette
If you're looking for something fresh with the perfect mix of sweet and sour then you absolutely have to try this dressing. Although the recipe calls for canola oil, I recommend that you use extra virgin olive oil instead. This dressing pairs best with an arugula (aka rocket) or baby spinach and strawberry salad.

Spicy Mango Vinaigrette
I adore mangoes! They're sweet, fresh, summery and tangy, and that's why you should blend them up and pour them over your salads. The addition of jalapeños gives this dressing that nice little kick that it needs for a perfect marriage of sweet and spicy.

Everyone loves ranch dressing right, so I couldn't give you the homemade dressing recipe without following it up with a homemade seasoning recipe! You can turn this into a dip or simply sprinkle it over your chicken as-is.

Dry Onion Soup Mix
A lot of people actually use store-bought onion soup powder as a seasoning in mincemeat when making burger patties, but as we now know, it contains a whole lot of other nasty additives. Rather make your own delicious mix like this one to really elevate the taste.

Seasoned Salt
Seasoned (or seasoning) salt should be a staple in your kitchen since you can sprinkle it on nearly anything from meats to veggies to crispy potato wedges. Seriously, you won't stop the sprinkling once you try this.
