Salad
If you want an easy way to brighten up any salad
recipe, essential oils can help add a refreshing,
healthy, or invigorating punch of flavor. Whether you
are making a traditional green salad, chicken salad,
pasta salad, quinoa salad, potato salad, or anything
in between, a dash of essential oil can help take any
ordinary salad recipe to the next level. If you like to
make your own salad dressing, essential oils are
easy to incorporate into dressing recipes—especially
for oil-based dressings.
Because many salad recipes require the salad to
cool in the fridge, it is important to note that essential
oil flavors will become stronger the longer they sit
on or in the food. If your potato or pasta salad is
going to sit in the fridge for a day before you serve it,
consider adding the essential oils just before serving
(instead of when you first make the salad) to ensure
that the flavor isn’t too strong.
