Easy recipe for maple mustard salad dressing with a how-to video demonstrating this simple blend of five whole ingredients.
Sometimes in our quest for better health, we can forget how important the basics can be.Â
In the recipe plus video demo below, I show you how to make your own salad dressing quickly and easily in your own kitchen.
Store salad dressings – even organic ones at the healthfood store – contain unhealthy, highly processed polyunsaturated oils that will cause inflammation in your body when consumed to excess in the typical Western diet (not to mention unsightly brown spots on your skin!).
Canola oil is the typical oil favored by food manufacturers for commercial dressings. More and more research is coming out about just how unhealthy this modern oil is to human health!
Make sure you are getting the fats right in your salad dressing!
This is one of the most basic steps as you convert your kitchen to a place where Real Food reigns!

Yes please! I've found lots of ranch recipes, but my husband only eats creamy Italian and bluecheese (though he would specifically like a combination dressing).
Awesome post! Keep them coming! Thanks!
Yes, to go with Anonymous…. A decent homemade bluecheese would be divine!

I'm not able to view this week's video (I checked and can still watch last week's video on healthy Chinese for dinner). I get a message reading, "This is a private video. If you have been sent this video, please make sure you accept the sender's friend request." Is this something new, or does my computer not want me to see this video?? Thanks for any guidance.
I'm at your blog and can't get the video to play. It says 'this is a private video , make sure you accept your friend's request'. ?????
Haven't had trouble before.
Unlike the others, this video is private and I cannot access it. What do I need to do?
I was unable to see the video. It said the video was private and I had to accept a friend request to view it… Anyway, thanks for the recipe!
