    All-In-One Bowl Salad + Dressing - Save dishes and time by making this fresh and healthy salad and dressing, all in one bowl!

    Homemade salad dressing made in one bowl

    How this recipe came to be

    This is a fun recipe that my daughter Natalie actually helped create!

    Natalie is eight years old now and really thriving in the kitchen. She's made a few things that I've wanted to put on the blog, not the least of which is this salad.

    She's been poring through my cookbooks and watching Food Network, really taking after me with a love of both cooking and baking.

    I think my other kids enjoy eating more than the actual creation process, lol.

    All-in-one bowl salad

    Since Natalie and I first made this together, it has become a regular lunch staple.

    I love salads for lunch, as they help me get in a good dose of veggies and protein. Honestly, I just love how they taste!

    I have a few dressings I like to rotate between, and this variation has made the cut.

    This recipe is all about first making the dressing in the bowl, and then tossing it with the greens and other veggies. NO extra bowls or bottles needed!

    Natalie loves adding in chicken, raisins, and walnuts, while my favorite add-ins include chicken and roasted pumpkin seeds.

    A few variations

    The posted recipe is my favorite way of making the base dressing, but here are a few other ideas to keep in mind!

    -Use olive oil in place of the water

    -Add in a sprig of fresh thyme in place of the herbs de Provence

    -Try lemon juice or red wine vinegar instead of apple cider vinegar

      I make a similar dressing but I always use the same amount of oil to acid ratio. I never thought of adding in some water, for making it milder, but I really like this idea. Thank you for sharing, Lauren! Can you tell me what veggies you and Natalie used in the salad that's in the pictures? It looks really delicious, I would like to replicate it. 🙂

        Thanks, Alice! In the picture, there's a mixture of green leaf lettuce and darker herb greens (it's a mix I buy). To that, I add in chopped red cabbage, grated carrot, scallions, and chopped celery. 🙂
