22 Oil-Free Salad Dressing and Sauce

I’ve got some of the best oil-free salad dressing and sauce recipes for your next plant-based meal.

It’s extremely hard to find oil-free sauces and dressings at your local grocery store so why not make your own!

These oil-free salad dressings and sauces come together in just minutes and store in the fridge for convenience so there’s no excuse for not whipping together your own.

I had no idea it was so easy to blend the ingredients together and keep them in the fridge for our meals.

It makes busy weeknight dinners so much faster to have the dressings and sauces ready to eat.

22 Oil-Free Salad Dressing and Sauce

Most of these dressings and sauces use a high-speed blender to blend the ingredients together in just seconds. 

Having a high-speed blender is important for anyone eating a plant-based diet.

We’ve been using this Nutribullet but having a Vitamix would be even better yet.
