Tangy & fresh, with vegetal crunch, a great side salad can sometimes be the highlight of a meal. And while fresh greens are of course critical to the quality of a good salad, the dressing is of equal importance. Made from a few staple pantry ingredients, this healthy salad dressing will forever make you rethink the need for highly caloric, sugar-filled store-bought dressings.

At the heart of this dressing is our Everyday Olive Oil, which brings a smooth, rich depth that elevates even humblest bowl of veggies. Whisked with bold Balsamic Vinegar and zesty Lemon Salt, it comes together in a harmonious and memorable dressing. Whether you're tossing it with tender bib lettuce, peppery arugula, or crunchy romaine, this might just become your best olive oil salad dressing yet. It’s light, bright, and balanced with just the right touch of acidity and sweetness.

If you're looking for a go-to extra virgin olive oil dressing that pulls everything together and makes vegetables sing—this is the one to keep on hand, ready in minutes but remembered long after your last bite.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do I make salad dressing with olive oil? 

Adding punchy, fresh flavor to dressing, olive oil is a healthy and delicious choice for salad dressing. If you're making a simple dressing such as our green salad dressing, all you need to do is whisk it in with the other ingredients. Generally, you want a 6 to 2 ratio of olive oil to acid to keep your dressing balanced. If you're making something creamier like a goddess dressing or caesar dressing, you want to stream the oil to a blender to allow it to emulsify.
