As we continue with our healthful journey, we often find ourselves making salads and munching greens, which are made more palatable by our salad dressings. However, we also need to be careful with the ones we buy from the grocery store as commercialized salad dressings often have additives and fattening added into it.

If you are someone who loves eating salads or pasta, our healthy recipe will bring you to make your own dressing called garlic and lemon vinaigrette.
