Mason Jar Salad Dressings

I love having different flavours of salad dressing on hand and once I realized how easy it is to make my own salad dressing I haven't looked back. I especially love these mason mason jar dressings because you can just add all the ingredients into the jar, give is a good shake and ta-da, all done! These are obviously all great on salads but I often use them to season meat and veggies when I'm cooking as well. 

This orange balsamic is definitely a go-to of mine. If you don't have any salad dressings on hand, you can't go wrong with a simple balsamic vinegar and olive oil combo. That said, it's super simple to up level that basic combo with other flavours. My favourite way to jazz up a balsamic vinaigrette is definitely with some freely squeeze orange juice. The flavour combo of balsamic and oranges is a match made in heaven! 

Lemon garlic is definitely a staple salad dressing in this household. I love it on a simple kale or arugula salad but I often use this a a marinade for chicken or fish and it's great poured over steamed or roasted veggies. 

Ahh the classic Mediterranean salad dressing. All the flavours of the different herbs, so tasty! This is clearly a versatile dressing as well. One of favourite way to use this dressing is to marinate chicken overnight and then cook it on the BBQ. So flavourful!

While these mason jar salads are great on all your salads I say get creative and use these are seasonings, marinades and sauces in all kinds of different dishes! ​
