Three Fabulous Salad Dressings

A well dressed salad is a meal in itself and delicious to eat.  
Here are my favourite dressings.  They are simple to mix;  just toss the ingredients in a small mason jar (250 or 500 ml) cover, mix and serve.  The leftovers (if there are any so make a large batch) can be refrigerated for a few weeks, again simply shake well before pouring.

Sweet and Spicy Asian Dressing

1/2 cup of balsamic vinegar and
1/2 cup of garlic chili flax oil (can improvise and use other oils)
4 cloves of garlic minced (or one small clove per serving)
1 cm" of sliced ginger, minced (or one thin slice per serving)
1/4 cup of orange juice (1/2 to 1/3 of the amount of vinegar)
1/2 tsp sesame oil (1/8 tsp per serving)
1/2 tsp chili flakes
1/4 cup maple syrup
sea salt to taste

Basic Garlic Dressing

Easy Greek Dressing

Garnish your salad with crumbled feta cheese (about 1/3 cup)
