We think this salad dressing is grade A+! It's bursting with a lot of flavor and omega-3 fatty acids. Make this flaxseed oil salad dressing directly in the salad bowl (just make sure that your hands are clean before mixing it up!). To fully enjoy, create a salad bar that includes some great toppings, including cherry tomatoes, grapes, sliced reduced fat cheddar cheese, cucumbers, and thinly chopped red, orange and yellow bell peppers.
