The secret is in the dressing
What will make you love your vegetables.
A small guide to making vegetables more delicious — and more often eaten.
A small reminder
Sometimes what we need isn't more discipline — just a little more flavor.
Summer is the perfect time to enjoy fresh vegetables. But some days, a bowl of greens on its own feels like one more thing to push through.
A good salad dressing changes that. It turns a simple bowl into something you actually look forward to eating.
And the best part — you don't need recipes. You just need a simple formula.
The simple formula
Oil + Acid + Flavor + a little something extra
Think of it as something you tune, not something you perfect.
🫒
Oil
Olive oil, avocado oil
🍋
Acid
Lemon juice, vinegar, lime
🌿
Flavor
Mustard, garlic, herbs, spices
🍯
Extras
Honey, maple, tahini, cashews
The easy ratio
3 parts oil + 1 part acid
More lemon if you like brightness. More oil if you want softness. More salt if it feels flat. Your taste is the guide.
