Why make salad dressing at home?

Do you make your salad dressing at home? When Alex and I decided to start eating whole foods and make as much as we could from scratch, store-bought salad dressings were the first to go. Here’s why:

It skips the additives and preservatives. Many of them have added preservatives, or large amounts of added salt and sugar. Making salad dressing at home lets you have full control over the ingredients going into your salad dressing. The flavor is incredible. Most of the time, like with our honey mustard vinaigrette, homemade salad dressing is much more delicious!
