5 homemade salad dressing recipes from Martha Stewart that take five to ten minutes and taste better than anything from a bottle. From a basic vinaigrette you can shake in a jar to a bold blue cheese dressing with buttermilk and a creamy caesar with no raw egg, these Martha Stewart salad dressing recipes cover every salad you will make this year.
I stopped buying bottled dressing after I made the vinaigrette and realized how fast it is. Now I rotate between these depending on what is for dinner and they all keep in the fridge for days.
1. Martha Stewart Vinaigrette
Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar. This is the one I keep in a jar in the fridge at all times because it goes on everything from green salads to roasted vegetables.
2. Martha Stewart Caesar Dressing
Garlic mashed with anchovies, lemon juice, mayo, and Dijon into a creamy dressing with no raw egg. I make a batch on Sunday and it lasts all week on salads, as a dip, and drizzled over grilled chicken.
3. Martha Stewart Blue Cheese Dressing
Equal parts buttermilk, sour cream, and mayo with crumbled blue cheese and lemon juice. Bold enough for buffalo wings and creamy enough to pour over a wedge of iceberg lettuce.
4. Martha Stewart 4 Easy Salad Dressings
Four dressings in one recipe starting with a shallot vinaigrette base. Martha shows you how to build a French, herb, lemon, and balsamic version from the same starting point.
5. Martha Stewart Dressing
A shallot and white wine vinegar vinaigrette with Dijon mustard and olive oil. This is the everyday dressing I reach for when I want something simple that does not overpower the salad.
