Sometimes you just need a dressing that doesn’t ask for a blender, whisk, or three extra dishes. That’s why I love jelly jar dressings—they’re made to pour, shake, and go. Toss everything in the jar, screw the lid tight, and in about ten seconds you’ve got homemade dressing without the mess.

All you need is a 4oz jelly jar and some eyeballs. Seriously. You can eyeball the olive oil, vinegar, and mustard, screw on the lid, and shake. Buy a bunch of these little jars and meal prep them for the week—perfect for whipping up healthy salads and keeping dressings portion-controlled.
Drizzle it over salads, roasted veggies, or leftover chicken for an instant flavor boost.
