Creamy Garlic Dressing

Ever since I've started to focus on clean eating, one easy way to keep in line with that is to stay away from commercial salad dressings.  They might seem harmless, especially when you see low-fat or low-cal - but that doesn't mean there are great things in it.  Look at the ingredients sometime! Thankfully it's super easy to make your own at home.  And it ensures that your healthy salad in fact stays healthy! This one is super quick and easy to make.  Enjoy!

What you need:

  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 3 to 5 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tsp himalayan salt
  • 1/2 tsp dijon mustard
  • t tbsp unfiltered honey or raw agave nectar
How to get it done:
Place all ingredients in a blender and blend on medium high for 30 seconds or until well mixed. Store in an airtight container in the fridge. If dressing solidifies when cold, let it sit at room temperature until liquid. Makes 8 to 10 servings.
