Salad-Making Tips & Tricks

Make Your Own Dressing

Homemade dressings are easy and taste infinitely better. Basic formula: 3 parts oil, 1 part acid, plus salt and flavorings.

Add Texture Variety

The best salads have multiple textures: crunchy (nuts, seeds), creamy (avocado, tahini), chewy (dried fruit, grains), and crisp (fresh veggies).

Massage Your Greens

For kale or tough greens, massage with a little salt and oil for 2-3 minutes. This breaks down fibers and makes them tender and delicious.

Dress Just Before Serving

Keep dressing separate until you're ready to eat to prevent soggy salads. For meal prep, layer dressing on the bottom.
