Garlic salad dressing is a flavorful addition to salads, combining bold garlic notes with ingredients like olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, and seasonings like salt, pepper, and herbs. Originating from Mediterranean cuisine, it reflects the region’s emphasis on fresh, healthful components. Olive oil serves as a base, providing heart-healthy unsaturated fats and antioxidants. Garlic contributes its distinctive taste along with potential health benefits like anti-inflammatory properties and immune system support. While low in carbohydrates, this dressing's fat content can be high, particularly if made primarily with oil—portion control is key for calorie-conscious individuals. Depending on the preparation, variations may include yogurt for creaminess, reducing fat content and adding protein. Its vibrant flavor makes salads more enticing, encouraging vegetable consumption, but added sugar in store-bought versions is worth monitoring for those watching their intake. Homemade is often the healthiest option for controlling ingredients and maximizing nutritional benefits.
