The consumption of salad can become more tasty and varied with the addition of healthy and nutritious sauces, which give more flavor and bring even more health benefits. These sauces can contain ingredients such as olive oil, lemon, whole-grain natural yogurt, pepper and mustard, and many of them can stay in the refrigerator for 3 days to 1 week, making them easier to use.
Making sauces at home, besides being cheaper, has the advantage of not containing chemical additives such as flavor enhancers, dyes and preservatives that alter the intestinal flora and end up harming health.
