Making your own dressings and sauces makes sense!

The shelves of the our food stores and supermarkets are stacked with sauces and dressings most of which have components which deteriorate quickly with time, the effect of daylight, overhead lighting and a range of preservatives to lengthen its shelf life

Think of mayonnaises - the backbone of which are oils - ideally they should be olive oil but most will be cheaper vegetable oils. Think of this oil - it could be old before manufacture and you can be sure that it will not be the best quality - then the exposure to the damaging atmosphere during manufacture - the intense mixing procedures and then the bottling - usually into clear containers allowing light to further damage or destroy the natural benefits that the oil might have. On top of all this the time it has sat on the shop shelf.

Yes, buying off the shelf is convenient but what you make will be better or become better as you get the hang of making such things yourself.

Remember the next second is the beginning of the rest of your life so make it a healthy one by rejecting rubbishy packaged sauces made by Big Foodie.

The more you do this, the more it will become second nature for you and then you will not find it an inconvenience anymore!
