Salad dressing changes the way your salad tastes. It can transform it from a bland to a mouth-watering salad. 

Although there are many salad dressings on the shelves, knowing how to make your own is a way of ensuring that you know exactly what you are feeding yourself. 

Store bought salad dressing can have added preservatives that might not always meet your health needs.
