2 Ingredient Salad Dressing Everybody Loves!

Today I’m sharing my all-time favorite 2 ingredient salad dressing recipe that everybody really does love! It’s so simple, sweet and delicious. This dressing makes any salad you add it to burst with freshness and flavor.

Bottled dressings contain so many health robbing ingredients. Once you give this one a try, you may never go back!

Why Bottled Dressings Aren’t Recommended

If you do find yourself browsing the bottled dressing section, be sure to check the ingredients label and find one without canola oil, soy, citric acid, natural flavors, vinegar, carrageenan, or difficult to pronounce ingredients. These can all cause irritation, inflammation and end up feeding the underlying pathogen responsible for your symptoms!

Although a bottled dressing is certainly convenient, and I’m all about time-saving tricks, your body will reward you for taking the extra few minutes to put together a simple dressing instead.

Salad Topping Ideas

You can really prepare a salad with whatever ingredients are already in your fridge. Any variety of lettuce, except for iceberg, has tremendous healing benefits. Here’s some ideas to get your creativity flowing:

1. Red, orange or yellow bell pepper with cucumber, tomato, scallions. Consider using red leaf lettuce.
2. Mango, strawberries, cucumber, scallions. Try it with kale or spinach!
3. Grapefruit sections, finely sliced fennel and pomegranate seeds. Delicious on butter leaf lettuce!

Avocado is also an amazing addition to all of the above if you’re not cutting out fat.

Keyword: dressing, honey, orange, salad

Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh squeezed orange juice

Notes

Use this dressing to top any salad! If your salad contains fruit, I'd forgo the garlic and if you'd like a more savory salad then add the garlic. If healing your liver and lowering fat is a priority for you, then I highly recommend trying this dressing without oil first, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised! Personally, I rarely add oil.
