Today, I want to share six delicious homemade salad dressings that are actually good for you.
It’s difficult to find healthy salad dressings at the store that don’t contain sugar or oils high in omega-6 fatty acids.
The salad dressings I’m going to share have unique health benefits. Of course, salad has a lot of important benefits, but choosing the right salad dressing can take it to the next level.
Here’s how to make salad dressing at home.
You will use a simple base of extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and apple cider vinegar for each of these salad dressings.
Add this base to a 16-ounce jar and keep it in your refrigerator. Each time you have a salad, add a quarter cup to half a cup of this base to a bowl, add your spices, mix it up, and pour it on your salad.
Ingredients for the salad dressing base:
1/3 cup (2.5 ounces) extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup (2 ounces) apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons (1 ounce) lemon juice
Apple cider vinaigrette dressing:
1 tablespoon mustard
1 clove garlic (minced)
1 pinch sea salt
1 dash pepper
French-style dressing:
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon dried lavender
1 pinch ground pepper
Italian-style dressing:
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon crushed garlic
1 pinch crushed red pepper
Mediterranean-style dressing:
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon dried mint
1/4 teaspoon sumac
1 pinch sea salt
Asian-style dressing:
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
1/2 teaspoon dried ginger
1/4 teaspoon crushed peppercorn
A splash of tamari
Indian-style dressing:
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
A pinch of dried cardamom

I am over 75 years old. Born in France. In Canada for 50 years. Never once have I thought about buying a vinaigrette because I saw my grandmother and my mother pour on the salad 2 spoons of olive oil, 1 spoon of vinegar (or lemon), a little salt, pepper, sometimes add a crushed garlic clove. And that’s all.
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for the salad dressings recipes.
Wow! Thats it’s? Thank you
I never but it either it tastes terrible qnd not good for you. Why not just use the benefits on olive oil? Tastes delicious and so good for you from head to toe!
That base is something I’ve been looking for! It’s so hard just to have the same old olive oil (I almost never use balsamic). Having a base in which to add spices that don’t add sugar or PUFAs is amazing! Thank you!
What a nice topic and thanks for your recipes, Dr Berg!! I was longing for this for a long time as love cooking!! Very nice of you to share with us!!
I laugh every time Doc says 7-8 cups lol couldn’t eat that much food/greens unless they are cooked down like spinach. There is NO WAY I am going to overeat 😂 — I have to keep ALL my portions small — I can only eat once a day and I NEVER overeat — ergo that’s why I have to supplement — for a small, sedentary woman of 70 it is critical that I restrict ALL foods no matter how nutritious/nutrient dense — so clearly these amounts are only for active young people who can work out aerobically — if you are in my situation your diet will be strict and unbending — I NEVER cheat because it is so important for me to stay strong and as healthy as I can. I hope everyone will realize that we are all individuals with different levels of health and fitness one size doesn’t fit all.
Blessings 💚☘️💚
Olive oil, lemon, sea salt and sometimes feta cheese, sometimes garlic. I never get tired of it. I like the taste of vegetables and the seasonings cover that up.
Great recipes, and good idea to keep the base in the fridge. Love it! Thanks.

Thank you Dr Berg! 😼👍
Ty for the summary !!
Thank you so much!
Perfect! Thank you!! 😀
This is really wonderful of you! Thank you so very much!
You are a champion, thanks so much. 😊
I started making my own salad dressing a few weeks ago, and I will NEVER go back to store bought salad dressing. Its so easy, cheap and delicious.
Much needed video Dr. Berg! Thank you! Store-bought prepared dressings are poison.
Thanks for the great recipes!! Here’s one for you using NOOCH:
1 C Nutritional Yeast
6 T apple cider vinegar
1/4 C Tamari or Coconut Aminos
3 cloves garlic, pressed
1/3 C olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
A delicious way to get all your B vitamins!
Love this, and the “nooch” gives it a nice cheesy, umami flavor
Yum!! I sprinkle nooch on salads but never thought of adding it to the dressing! Will make this, stat!!
What brand of nutritional yeast have you found that uses methylcobalamin instead of cyanocobalamin for B12?
@Kathy A I don’t know about the above but I do know that Dr Berg sells a nutritional yeast which is very healthy.
Unfortified yeast only…only fortified has synthetic vitamins.
A lot of today’s salad dressings and condiments have bad oils in them. Thank you for sharing these great recipes that are filled with nutrients that keep us healthy Dr.. Berg ❤
You’re most welcome!
If I use dressing, I’ll buy a seasoning pack (usually Italian) and mix it with olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and splash of water. Tastes great, and from what I’m watching, I had the right idea. However, I now have new ones to try!
In Tunisia, we usually use this salad dressing: 1 tsp of dried mint, 1 pinch of sea salt, 1 pinch of black pepper, 1/3 cup of olive oil.
So tasty 😋
Thank you for these dressing recipes Dr. Berg 😊 I love balsamic vinaigrette and lemon but hurts my teeth 😬
Thank you for keeping us educated on healthier alternative lifestyle choices.
Dijon is a brilliant idea! I recommend using Grey Poupon if possible, because the white wine added to it cuts back on the intensity of the flavour. Works exceedingly well!
Best dressings I’ve done so far:
Balsamic Vinaigrette: 8oz EV olive oil, 1 tbsp lime juice, 1 tbsp Lemon juice, 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar, 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar, 1 tbsp Bragg Sea Kelp Delight Seasoning.
Ginger Dressing: 2 oz Onion about 1/3 of a medium sized onion, 2 Inch Ginger, 1 Garlic Clove, 1/2 Cup Olive Oil, 1/3 Cup Rice Vinegar, 2 tbsp Water, 2 tbsp Sugar-Free Ketchup, 1 tbsp Tamari, 1 tbsp monk fruit blend, 2 tsp Lemon Juice, 1/2 tsp Salt, 1/8 tsp Black Pepper. Blend or in a food processor.
My salad dressing for years has been 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp ACV, 1 tsp or so black seed oil, and an unmeasured amount of crushed red pepper (probably 1-2 tsp). All organic and normally about 4.5 tbsp per very large salad. I like the idea of adding lemon juice to the mix. I think I will also try the other Italian dressing herbs you included and see what happens.
Most excellent, delicious, and super nutritious dressings!
Thank you so much
Dr. Berg.
You’re the humanitarian best!
Hope you enjoy them!
So Awesome Dr. Berg! Thank you!
I usually do make my own dressing because I have the old Good Seasoning’s bottle that has the markings for oil, vinegar, water,
then I use crushed garlic, or ginger and fresh or dried herbs depending on what flavor profile I am trying to accomplish. So easy ! Every time I am at a Goodwill or thrift store I look for these bottles for friends because they always want one once they see me make dressing so fast and it tastes so good! So there’s a tip too!
