Hi, it's Anne Ricci and you are watching "Anne's Healthy Kitchen TV".
And today, I'm gonna give you 3 quick and easy "busy mom approved" healthy salad dressing recipes.

So last time I talked about low-fat salad dressings and why you should really avoid
them. So if you missed that episode, you can watch it here.
There are 3 components to a healthy salad dressing. The first component is healthy fats.
Healthy fats like olive oil will help you absorb the nutrients in your salad. Then component
number 2 is an acidic ingredient.
An acidic ingredient like lemon juice and vinegar will help you absorb minerals like
calcium in your salad.
And then, the third component is measure. Use a tablespoon. Don't pour the oil from
the bottle directly on your salad because you can't control the quantity, and over time,
you can gain weight.
So, let's do a quick recap. Component number 1 is good fats. Component number 2, an acidic
ingredient, and component number 3, use a tablespoon or a teaspoon.
Ok so now I will give you my 3 favorite salad dressing recipes. So let's go to the kitchen!
The first one is my favorite, "busy mom approved" salad dressing. It is great for lettuce-based
salads.
So for 2 people, you will put ½ tbsp raw red wine vinegar and 1.5 tbsp of cold-pressed
olive oil. You simply pour on the salad and then you mix everything well. It takes only
30 seconds!
The second recipe is more for carrots, cucumbers, and tomatoes. And for 2 people you want to
put 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1.5 tbsp cold-pressed olive oil, and you will do the same. You can
simply pour on the salad and mix everything well. You can also mix the juice and the oil
in a small bowl, separately, and then pour on the salad.
And the third recipe is for more elaborate salads with chicken or seafood. So for 2 people,
you want to put ½ tbsp raw red wine vinegar, 1.5 tbsp cold-pressed olive oil, and then,
you could add 1 tbsp yogurt or 1 tbsp cream. So you would mix the ingredients separately
in a small bowl and then pour on the salad, and mix well.
So that's it, 3 recipes, quick, easy and healthy.
