Cold press salad dressings recipes

Cold-Pressed Salad Dressing Recipes for the Seasons

Try these flavorful salad dressings made from cold pressed juice! As promised during my Create Amazing Recipes workshop at JuiceCon, here are the salad dressing recipes I created that highlight seasonal ingredients. When you use ingredients that are in season, you are using produce that is fresher, more nutritious, and has a more vibrant flavor than produce used out of season.

Purchasing produce that is available from local growers shortly after harvest is very beneficial and something to consider when creating your recipes. You can learn more about creating your own unique recipes in my book, The Juicing Companion. It can be ordered from our online shop here: The Juicing Companion

Recipes tested in the Goodnature Innovation Kitchen using the Goodnature X-1 Mini.

All recipes yield about 16 oz.

Hello Ari I am hoping at some point, you blog about some tasty low sugar juice options that you might suggest. I have enjoyed your book, especially the way it encourages one to invent and has some hints about how to start. My other wish list item, or question is finding somewhere, that has a generic fruit/veggie/ ingredient portion/ nutrition chart. PS Happy Thanksgiving to the folks in the USA Thankyou Donald Stokes Ontario, Canada

Hello Donald, Yes, that's a great idea. I find the biggest key to making great savory low sugar juices is having a good balance of flavors. I'll bring up that idea next meeting definitely, I know we have a lot of great stuff coming on the blog with talks and content from juicecon. You would definitely like the summer dressing above, works great and similar to a greek dressing and very low to no sugar as well. Thanks, glad you liked the book! The nutritional information is a great idea, we considered this but found it a little too difficult to get the correct amounts due to soo many varieties to consider and product nutritional fluctuation during the seasons. We did find that we would be able to list what vitamins and nutrients each product is a good source of in the book, but something to consider. Thanks again,

Hello Ari, I am newly minted GoodNature customer. I do not have my machine yet but very excited to use it. I have been struggling to make preservatives free fresh salad dressings to suite our theme. This article just like CHARLSYE said above will help greatly to think outside the box. I am also ordering your juicing guide soon. Thank you Both, Uday.

Thanks a lot for sharing these delicious salad dressing recipes. If you add oil to these dressing to make them a vinaigrette what will be the possible shelf life of the dressing

You're definitely welcome, hope you enjoy them. The vinegar will actually help extend the shelf life rather than the oil, however per health department, to serve you will only be able to get a seven-day shelf life unless you get approval first. But for home use, you will find you might be able to get even longer under the proper storage.
