— Now, you may be thinking, “Why would I want an oil-free dressing? Olive oil is a healthy fat.” And you’d be right. It is a healthy fat!!

Fresh basil is packed with antioxidants, which are thought to help slow down the effects of aging, and may also help to combat against the negative effects of stress on the body. Paired with fresh orange juice, which is known for it’s high vitamin C content, this dressing adds even more nutrition to your already veggie-packed salads. The fact that it tastes AMAZING is just a bonus.
