Meditarrean Inspired Salads Dressings
These salad dressings along with the basic ones I have used hundreds maybe thousands of times through my career. Even if there are limited ingredients to place into the salad due to provisioning limitations, just changing the salad dressing can provide the guest with a completely different experience. Plus the dressing can provide colour as in the sundried tomato dressing. Enjoy :)
