Who needs bottled salad dressing when making your own dressing is so simple? Nothing beats a homemade salad dressing, and even a novice home cook can quickly mix up a tasty salad dressing in just a few easy steps. Start with equal parts oil and vinegar (you can have some fun with trying different flavors and types of oils and vinegars).  From there you can tweak and season as you please. Play with it by adding grated cheese, a flavored mustard, fresh garlic or a new herb and finish off with a bit of sweetness from a dash of honey or agave. Here are a few recent recipes we whipped up in the Zyliss Kitchen. They range in difficulty and number of ingredients, but each one came together quickly and tasted great.

Lemon Chia Seed  Vinaigrette

This is a light vinaigrette that will work on most salads. The addition of the chia seeds give it added health benefits and will create a thicker consistency.

Ingredients
