Why make homemade salad dressing?
All too often, store-bought dressings are made with low-quality, inflammation-causing seed oils (canola, soy oil, sunflower, corn, grapeseed, rice bran or safflower) because these are much less expensive to produce than good-quantity olive oil. The process by which these oils are made (heated to very high temps, then treated with chemicals to enhance smell and color) is what is toxic to the body. The less we consume these the better. The thought of people taking the time to create a beautiful, nourishing salad, then dousing it with seed oils makes me shudder! Even brands that tout “organic” or “non-GMO” are often guilty of including these less expensive seed oils. Always check the labels.

Excellent. Exactly what I wanted, although I’m not too keen on a Lot of Oregano, so I put half oregano and half basil.
