Recipe: 5 Fruity Vegan Salad Dressings

July 15, 2017

Five Fruity Salad Dressings
Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

The very simplest of green leaf salads can be totally transformed by a knock-your-socks-off salad dressing, and I’ve been making the most of all sorts of lovely fresh fruit we’ve had around over the last few weeks to experiment with these brightly-coloured vinaigrettes.

These fruity dressings keep well in the fridge, and are such a lovely gift to take along to a BBQ or summer lunch party – made in under 5 minutes, poured into a sterilised bottle and tied with a pretty label round the neck, they are always really well received.

Five Fruity Salad Dressings

Today’s post has not one but five recipes in it, so you can print off whichever one you like the look of.  They all start with a basic vinaigrette recipe, with fruity combinations thrown in so why not go crazy and invent your own using whatever you have growing in the garden?
