Making your own salad dressing so much easier than I ever thought. In fact, I wish I had tried it long ago! Two reasons I finally made my own. First, I was sick of paying $4.00+ on a small bottle of organic salad dressing, and second, I had a really hard time finding a dressing that didn't contain vegetable (ie: soy, canola) oil. Finding 100% olive oil-based salad dressing was impossible. With this recipe, that's no longer a concern!

Three reasons to love this homemade dressing from Food Network chef Alex Guarnaschelli.

1. It’s ridiculously easy to make

2. The EVOO and raw nuts offers a satisfying hit of healthy fats

3. The flavors magnifies any salad’s yum factor

In a blender, whiz up ½ cup any raw nuts (we especially like walnuts) with ½ cup extra virgin olive oil and ½ cup lemon juice.

Enjoy!
