Be Well Vinaigrette Dressing

Be Well Vinaigrette is a clean, simple dressing with tons of flavor. And I bet you already have all the ingredients on hand to make it!

By making your dressing at home with an olive oil base, you'll be decreasing your omega-6 intake and increasing your heart-healthy, monounsaturated fat intake. Olive oil has even been shown to curb sugar cravings and improve body composition. Plus, when paired with vinegar, this dressing is an effective way to lower blood sugar levels.

Be Well Vinaigrette is the perfect way to dress your greens with a healthy fat component. Why is it important to eat healthy fat with your greens? Many of the nutrients found in greens are more absorbable when ingested with a fat source.

I would use this vinaigrette to dress a traditional salad, any greens, or a crunchy veggie medley. Serve alongside a protein, and you’ll have a blood sugar balancing Fab Four meal!
