21 Day Fix Dressings

Ever since being introducted to the 21 Day Fix, I haven't bought a store brand salad dressing.  Store brand dressings are filled with artificial chemicals, which are more harmful to your body than you think.  I am a big fan of the 21 Day Fix dressings!  So here are the recipes you can follow in the serving size of the orange 21 Day Fix container. All dressings make 12 servings which is about 6 teaspoons for each serving.
 
 
Balsamic Vinaigrette
6 tbsp of balsamic vinegar
1/4 cups of fresh lemon juice
1 tsp. of raw honey ( or pure maple syrup)
2 tsp. Dijon mustard
6 tbsp. of extra virgin olive oil
  • Combine vinegar, lemon juice, and honey in a medium bowl, whisk to blend.
  • Stir in mustard and mix well
  • Slowly add oil while whisking and mix well
Tip store in covered container in the refrigerator. If dressing thickens when cold hold at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
