I feel very passionate about this week’s giveaway prize. As you know, we eat a TON of salad in our house. So it may not be a surprise that we kicked off our clean eating lifestyle by eliminating store-bought dressing. Of all things that we ‘gave up’ through our clean eating, salad dressing has been the easiest and the one item about which I feel the most strongly.

The majority of salad dressings you find in the store are filled with hard to pronounce chemicals. If you are able to find an organic, whole food salad dressing, there is a good chance the oil in that dressing is rancid.

Food, REAL food, is not meant to be kept on the shelves for months at a time and salad dressing is one of the easiest things you can make. Oil + Acid (vinegar or lemon juice) and if you want a little thicker dressing, throw in some Dijon mustard.

If you are going to make any steps towards clean eating, please consider making your own salad dressing. 

It is so easy to do and so much healthier for you. Need a recipe? Check out the best salad dressing ever. Seriously. When I left corporate America, I am pretty sure my co-workers didn’t care that they lost me, what they really wanted and why they contacted me after my departure, was this dressing.

Back to this week’s giveaway:

An Oxo Good Grips Salad Dressing Shaker

I love this thing.

Measurements are included on the side of the bottle so you don’t even need to pull our measuring cups.

After you make it, you can throw it in the fridge and it’s super easy to pour and socially acceptable to put it on your table with your salad.

I say this because prior to our purchase, I was trying to use a Mason jar.

It was a terrible mess.

Imagine congealed dressing on the top and trying to stick a spoon to fish out the dressing. Not pretty.

And to make the Oxo Good Grips Salad Dressing Shaker even better, it cleans up awesome in your dishwasher.

Have I convinced you yet?
