Dressings are able to change a salad from a basic, bland veggie mix to a tasty treat you want to have more often. Salads can be a really healthy addition to everyone’s diet but shouldn’t be a tasking thing to enjoy, rather a pleasure. Mayonnaise or lemon are the easy go to salad dressings commonly used; however, the right herbs and spices can transform your salad into a vibrant, flavourful creation.

Herbs infuse salads with an explosion of fragrance and flavour. Whether it's parsley, coriander, basil, or mint, these greens are the secret to a zesty kick to your salads. Whatever herb works for your taste, you can add a generous amount to spruce up your salad.
