Why Cold-Pressed Oils Work Wonders

Using cold-pressed oils in your salad dressings isn’t just a culinary trend- it’s a way to elevate flavours naturally. Here’s why:

• Enhanced taste: Cold-pressed oils retain their original aroma and subtle nutty or fruity notes, giving dressings a richer, more nuanced flavour.
  

• Perfect emulsion: They blend effortlessly with vinegar, lemon, or yogurt, creating smooth, well-balanced dressings.
  

• Versatile options: Mustard, sesame, coconut, groundnut, or extra virgin olive oil- all bring their unique twist to your salad creations.
  

Salad dressings with cold-pressed oils ensure that every ingredient, from crisp cucumbers to juicy tomatoes, shines in every bite.

Quick and Easy Dressings for Busy Days

Even if you’re short on time, cold-pressed oils can turn a simple salad into something spectacular. Here’s what makes them perfect for quick dressings:

• Fast blending: Mix oil, lemon juice, herbs, and a pinch of salt for a dressing ready in under two minutes.
  

• Customisable flavours: Add garlic, mustard seeds, honey, or chopped chillies to tweak flavours instantly.
  

• Texture boost: Cold-pressed oils coat every leaf and slice evenly, enhancing both taste and presentation.
  

With Tata Simply Better cold-pressed oils, your weekday salads never have to be dull.

Top Oils to Try in Salad Dressings

Here’s a quick guide to choosing the right oil for your next dressing:

1. Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Perfect for Mediterranean-style salads, its fruity, peppery notes pair beautifully with balsamic vinegar, sun-dried tomatoes, and olives. A classic go-to for any vinaigrette.

2. Mustard Oil

Adds a sharp, aromatic punch to tangy or spicy dressings. Mustard oil works well with shredded cabbage, carrots, or radish salads.

3. Sesame Oil

Ideal for Asian-inspired salads. Its nutty flavour complements soy sauce, ginger, and sesame seeds, creating a dressing that’s bold yet balanced.

4. Groundnut Oil

Groundnut oil offers a mild base that allows herbs, lemon, or spices to stand out. Great for creamy dressings or quick emulsions.

5. Coconut Oil

Light, buttery, and slightly sweet, coconut oil pairs well with tropical salads or fruit-based bowls, giving a subtle twist to everyday greens.

Step-by-Step Tips for Perfect Salad Dressings

Creating quick, flavourful dressings with cold-pressed oils is easier than you think. Follow these steps:

1. Choose fresh ingredients: Use crisp vegetables, herbs, and fruits for vibrant textures.
   

2. Measure your oil: Typically, 2–3 tablespoons of cold-pressed oil per salad works perfectly.
   

3. Add an acid: Lemon juice, vinegar, or tamarind enhances flavour and balances richness.
   

4. Season creatively: Salt, pepper, mustard, garlic, or fresh herbs can transform a basic dressing into a gourmet experience.
   

5. Mix and taste: Combine ingredients in a small bowl or jar, whisk or shake well, and adjust seasoning as needed.
   

With these steps, making salad dressings with cold-pressed oils becomes a simple, fun ritual.

Fun Variations to Experiment With

• Zesty Lemon & Olive Oil Dressing: Extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, honey, and black pepper for a refreshing kick.
  

• Spicy Mustard Carrot Dressing: Shredded carrot, mustard oil, ginger, and a touch of jaggery for a bold, tangy flavour.
  

• Nutty Sesame & Soy Dressing: Sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger, and sesame seeds for a quick Asian-style salad upgrade.
