Turn even the most everyday bowl of greens into something special with these amazing and easy-to-make vegan salad dressing recipes!
Do you like salad? I feel like people who don’t like salads are really just people who haven’t experienced the joy of a fully-loaded, truly good salad. One that’s full of color, texture, and FLAVOR.
For me, a good salad is 40% about what’s in it and 60% about the dressing, and these vegan salad dressing recipes can definitely transform a boring bowl of greens into something super special.
Vegan Salad Dressing Recipes for Spring
1. Ginger-Cranberry Salad Dressing
I’m a big fan of blender dressings (as you’ll see from this list), and this one is tart, spicy, and creamy. It’s also the prettiest dressing I’ve ever made.
2. Magical Tahini Dressing
This creamy, lemony dressing takes five minutes to make in the blender. So simple, and it makes even the most simple side salad feel hearty.
3. Cashew Ranch
Another creamy blender dressing, this is one of the most popular dressings on my site. I also taught this recipe in a cooking class last month, and the students loved it!
4. Easy Vegan Caesar Salad Dressing
You only need 10 minutes and one bowl to make this creamy vegan Caesar! Your immersion blender makes this decadent dressing come together like magic.
5. Easy Poppyseed Dressing
Kristina’s sweet-and-creamy poppyseed dressing stars pineapple juice and a healthy dose of poppyseeds. In the salad pictured, she topped it off with Sriracha sauce, which I think is a Good Idea.
6. Creamy Avocado Lime Dressing
Mel’s tangy avocado dressing is as versatile as it is delicious. She walks you through how to make it thicker or thinner to suit your salad needs.
7. Creamy Sesame Soy Asian Salad Dressing
Jenn’s creamy Asian-inspired dressing would be perfect over a green salad or in place of mayo in a cabbage slaw.
8. Pumpkin Vinaigrette
If you love fall flavors year-round like I do, you’ll love Sarah’s sweet-and-savory pumpkin dressing.
9. Oil-Free, Vegan Thousand Island Dressing
If you know me, you know that I’m far from oil-free, so when I’m jazzed about an oil-free dressing – like this one from Melissa Huggins – you can be sure that it’s good!
10. Dijon Mustard Dressing
This is a classic salad dressing, and Amy’s 4-ingredient version is looking so, so good!
11. Creamy Vegan Jalapeno Salad Dressing
I love spicy food, and Cadry’s creamy, spicy jalapeno dressing is right up my alley.

Usually I’m pretty lazy when it comes to salad dressing and end up using balsamic vinegar or a watered down hummus – but this makes me want all the dressings! and all the salads! YUM!
