Salad dressings are an important part of the flavor and nutrition of your salad. But with so many types of salad dressings on store shelves choosing a healthy one can be overwhelming. Is a creamy dressing less healthy than a vinaigrette? Should you opt for a low-fat dressing? This article discusses how to choose a healthy salad dressing including what ingredients to look for and avoid and nutritional statistics to pay attention to.
A healthy salad dressing should ideally resemble something you would make at home with just a few simple ingredients and not too much added saturated fat sugar or sodium. Some pre-made salad dressings contain additional ingredients for texture flavor or color such as emulsifiers dyes and syrups. These ingredients often increase the added sugar and sodium in the dressing. Turn the bottle over and look at the ingredients before you buy. Look for a dressing that prioritizes simple ingredients like oil vinegar spices or herbs.
