You think you've made a healthy choice by tossing together a nice green salad. But once you douse it in store-bought salad dressing, filled with unnecessary salt and sugar, it's not so healthy anymore. So, why not try this homemade House Ranch or Citrus Vinaigrette to control that salt and sugar intake? Make your salad completely healthy. (These dressings can keep up to two weeks in the fridge.)
