Salad dressings can either be the creamy, fattening kind or the bland, very healthy kind. If you’re really aiming to make a salad a meal, it needs to have a few components. Make sure that it has a good balance of fat and protein. You’ll want your salad dressing to have some fat in there so that you can absorb all of the good nutrients from the greens you are eating.

This recipe includes some avocado for a creamy texture and different fresh herbs. You can easily adapt this to your own version based on the herbs you have on hand.
