Choose light, healthy salad dressings to enhance your summer salads. Try these healthier homemade alternatives to the traditional vinaigrette dressing.

A salad simply isn’t a salad without some dressing - but how can you avoid dousing the whole lot in high-fat dressing, thus ruining any attempt at healthy eating?
