Antioxidant Salad Dressing Recipe {Daniel Plan Recipe}

This Antioxidant Salad Dressing is a versatile dressing that goes with just about any salad.

For our last Daniel Plan session, we had a Salad In A Jar Party. Read this post to learn all about How To Host a Salad In A Jar Party and How To Build A Salad In A Jar. I made this Antioxidant Salad Dressing for that evening’s event. The original recipe comes from The Daniel Plan book; however, to be honest, the recipe was so acidic and unbearably sour that I modified it to be more in line with the standard salad dressing recipe of 3:1 oil:acid. The end result was a creamy dressing that was much more palatable, although obviously higher in fat (I did, however, use Daniel Plan approved unrefined extra virgin olive oil and grapeseed oil).

Antioxidant Salad Dressing - this is a healthy, versatile salad dressing made with ground flax seeds and raw apple cider vinegar This dressing contains healthy fats such as omega 3’s from extra virgin olive oil and seeds (grapeseed oil, flaxseed) and the highest ranking antioxidant rich herb – oregano. If you’re not familiar with grapeseed oil, it’s a by-product of winemaking, and is a neutral flavored oil that is a good source of vitamin E, oleic acid (which may reduce the risk of stroke) and linoleic acid (which fights heart disease and bad cholesterol). Try to use oils labeled cold-pressed or expeller-pressed – these oils are pressed at lower temperatures and retain their flavor and nutritional value.

You only need a few tablespoons of this Antioxidant Salad Dressing to dress a quart-size Salad In A Jar. For our party of 20 people, I doubled this recipe and we used almost all of it up.

    What a great idea to celebrate the ending of an incredible journey with a Salad In A Jar Party! And Jeanette – this dressing sounds so wonderful – when I first saw it I thought it was cream based but it isn’t and yet looks so creamy! YUM!

    I noticed that the dressing is at the bottom of jar…I wonder how you toss the salad with it in jar…sorry, I am fascinated with salad in a jar..but not quite sure how you serve it..
    The dressing sounds GREAT!

      Angie, I think that it’s intended to be able to tote to work, or somewhere where you are going to eat it later. By putting the dressing at the bottom of the jar, then the more hardier vegetables on top, and leafy greens at the very top, your salad won’t get soggy while it waits to be eaten. What I’ve done, is then dump the salad out into a bowl, or plate, and voila, a few fluffs with your fork and it’s ready to eat! 😉 Hope this helps.

    This looks so delicious! I love how mixing dressing in the blender emulsifies the ingredients into a cremy dressing that still healthy! Can’t wait to try it.

    This looks like a terrific all-purpose salad dressing. I love to see someone else who uses grapeseed oil. I find that often people have never even heard of it.

    I have loved following your recipes and am in awe of how you are constantly enhancing your site. Your display of the separate ingredients is great. I have only seen it before on a professional company’s web sit. I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate the effort you put into your site, not because of profit, but because you care.
