Jam Jar Salad Dressing Recipes with Camelina Oil

Simplicity and saving time make these dressings our go to when we're in a hurry or simply have so many other things to look after. Joanne and I love to bring salads to work, on hikes and to longer trips. Specially when it comes to the dressing, we prep in advance to avoid later disappointment.

When we're on the road and don't have any mixers, blenders or other fancy aides to meal prep, we make these dressings in advance and love the outcome every time!

I love to make my dressings in jam jars, it’s easier to see

what’s going on, you can shake them up easily and it makes a good

storage container for prepping and leftovers. Except for the yogourt dressing,

they’re all based on a ratio of 3 parts cold-pressed oil to 1 part acid like

vinegar or lemon or orange juice. In generally, this ratio is a really good rule of thumb for

making any dressing. Ideally you are looking for a source of acidity that goes well with the oil that you are using.

Have a little taste once you’ve shaken up the dressing in the jar. If the seasoning is there but you’re finding

it a little too acidic, you’re on the right track. Once the dressing is

on the salad leaves it will be perfect.

Add some of the dressing onto your salad, not all at once to avoid overdressing, as this will make your greens go lush and soggy as the acidity will "fry" your greens.
