Dressing up your salads and vegetables is a great way to add some extra flavour and nutrients to your meals. But beware of the high salt content in many commercially produced dressings. High sodium levels can make you feel bloated, affect your blood pressure and cause other health problems such as raising your risk of heart disease and stroke.


According to the world health organization salt reduction to that of the recommended amount could prevent 2.5 million deaths per year, and overall reducing your sodium intake could generate an extra year of healthy life.


Luckily, there are healthy alternatives that are quick and easy to make at home.


This recipe for creamy lime and coriander dressing is the perfect example of a delicious alternative to traditional salad dressings as it contains only healthy ingredients. It's also low in salt and high in fibre and protein. Try serving it tossed through your favourite salad or atop of your buddha bowl and enjoy!


If you love zingy flavours and a creamy, luxurious texture in your salad dressings, this recipe is sure to impress! Combining the tangy taste of lime juice with freshly chopped coriander leaves, and creamy cashews, this is a truly indulgent but totally guilt-free way to spice up your salads.


It's quick and easy to make and can be kept in the fridge for up to a week. Plus its low-carb making it a great choice for those looking to reduce their carbohydrate intake and thanks to the cashews it's also high in protein to help you stay fuller for longer!
