Gregg Wallace's Easy Salad Dressing Recipe for Weight Loss

As summer approaches, MasterChef star Gregg Wallace has unveiled a fresh salad dressing recipe designed to enhance the BBQ experience. According to recent research by The Grocer, 45 percent of Brits believe a "good" salad is essential for a successful barbeque, making it the most favored non-meat item at these gatherings. This preference surpasses traditional sides like bread rolls, coleslaw, and corn on the cob. Gregg emphasizes the importance of homemade salad dressings, particularly for those on health and weight loss journeys. Having lost five stone himself, he advocates for avoiding store-bought dressings, which often contain unhealthy ingredients. "We all need to know how to make a decent salad dressing," he stated, highlighting that a well-crafted dressing can significantly elevate a salad's flavor. His simple recipe includes two tablespoons of olive oil, the juice of half a lemon, a crack of black pepper, and one teaspoon of mustard, all mixed until combined. Gregg advises that the dressing should be "really strong" to effectively flavor the salad without overwhelming the palate. He describes it as a versatile dressing suitable for any season. In addition to the recipe, Gregg shared a salad etiquette tip, noting that the French consider it impolite to cut a salad with a knife and fork. Instead, he encourages diners to pick up each piece with a fork, ensuring a mess-free dining experience. Enthusiastic fans have already expressed their eagerness to try the recipe, calling it "lush."
