I’ve discovered the joy of making fresh, homemade salad dressings. The bottled dressing has now lost all of its glamour for me. Homemade dressings are quick and easy to make and so yummy! Here are two of my favorites!

Quick & Easy Blue Cheese
Yield: Makes 2 cups
Ingredients:
3/4 cup sour cream
1/3 cup crumbled Blue Cheese (may add more)
1/3 – 1/2 cup whole milk (to make the consistency to your liking)
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon salt or more to taste
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
Preparation:
Place the sour cream, blue cheese, milk, mayonnaise, salt, and vinegar in a blender and slowly blend it until completely combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if desired.
I place all the ingredients into a pint jar with a screw lid. I add some chunks of blue cheese to the jar and shake to blend. You can reuse this jar over and over.

Greek Salad Dressing
For the vinaigrette:
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup good red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup good olive oil
For the vinaigrette, add the garlic, oregano, mustard, vinegar, salt and pepper into a 1/2 pint jar. Add the olive oil and shake to blend. Store in the fridge and take out 1/2 an hour before serving with your salad. Shake well, just before you pour on the salads.
The perfect housewife. Don’t tell me you were wearing high heels too.
That’s strange the only thing which I have ever done and still do is salad dressing ! I hate all these dressings you can buy in a shop ! I mostly make vinaigrette
Those sound really good!! Thanks for sharing the recipes! My grandma used to make a really good poppy-seed dressing. I will have to try to find the recipe (if I every had it). It might be in the church cookbook from back in the day. Thanks again! Cute photo!!
