    Vegan Salad Dressing Recipes

    Looking for the perfect vegan salad dressing? You've come to the right place! Read on to find recipes for all your favorite classic salad dressings...veganized! This round-up has everything from ranch and Caesar to Thousand Island and honey mustard.

    Graphic showing three photos of salad dressings with text overlay reading "12 vegan salad dressings".

    Finding vegan salad dressing at the store can be a challenge. And sometimes even when you do get your hands on a bottle, you get it home and crack it open only to find that it leaves something to be desired in terms of flavor and texture.

    So does going vegan mean you have to give up salads for good? (How ironic!)

    It certainly does not. The solution: make your own dressing.

    Okay, this may sound like a pain, but stay with me. In this post I'm offering up recipes for 12 scrumptious homemade vegan salad dressings...and most of them can be whipped up in minutes, often with ingredients you may already have on hand.

    Trust me, nobody would ever guess these delicious dressings were made without eggs or dairy!
