Only in the modern world can we take the world\u2019s healthiest meal, a giant salad, and turn it into one of the unhealthiest meals possible.<\/strong> How do we do that? By drenching our vegetables with a processed monstrosity such as a sugar-, dairy-, oil-, and chemical-filled salad dressing.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s always also amazing to me that some of the only vegetables those on a Standard American Diet<\/a> eat are baby carrots and celery dipped or smothered in ranch dip.<\/p>\n

Many of you may be thinking, \u201cTell me something I don\u2019t know. I already avoid those junky processed dressings,\u201d and that\u2019s awesome. But maybe you\u2019re living an incredibly busy lifestyle and end up resorting to the basic olive oil and vinegar or lemon juice dressing.<\/strong> For one thing, that gets boring, and you also might be missing out on an opportunity to add even more micronutrients<\/a> to your salads.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s an easy solution to both of the above issues: make your own simple, nutrient-dense dressings and dips.<\/strong> It\u2019ll only take you two minutes to combine the ingredients of the recipes below into a bowl, and it\u2019ll save money (not to mention your health), as well. You can even make these dressings in bulk and store them in your fridge for about a week.<\/p>\n

Here are two dressings I like to make on a regular basis that will make your salads less boring and even more nutritious.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hummus Dressing or Dip<\/h2>\n

This hummus dressing is incredibly good and helps sneak in more beneficial nutrients from beans<\/a> in your diet.<\/strong> Beans help control blood sugar, increase satiety, and protect you against colon cancer<\/a>.<\/p>\n
