We are lucky to be surrounded by so many fresh goodies in Washington state. From Lake City to Columbia City, and every neighborhood in between, we’re surrounded by farmer’s markets and fresh produce.
Spring is just around the corner and is the perfect season for a fresh, crisp salad as a main course or as a refreshing side to any dish. Try out these versatile cannabis-infused salad dressings for an even spunkier salad.
These will all require a cannabis cooking oil, but don’t fret, it’s super easy but will take some time.
SIMPLE LEMON VINAIGRETTE
⅔ cup olive oil
⅓ cup cannabis oil
¼ cup lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp sugar or honey
Salt and pepper to taste
Whisk all ingredients together, and you’re good to go. Pair this with some arugula and baby spinach, and you’ve got a tangy, refreshing, and stony meal. Play around with the ratio of olive oil and cannabis oil for different effects.
CREAMY YOGURT VINAIGRETTE (WITH EASY VEGAN ALTERNATIVE)

1 tsp dill
¼ cup cannabis oil
1 tsp minced garlic
Salt and pepper to taste
Whisk all ingredients together or blend up in a mixer, and you’re all set. This is a super versatile dressing, but it’s especially delicious on cucumbers, avocados, broccoli, or even over some falafel.
CHILI-LIME VINAIGRETTE
½ cup lime juice
¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup cannabis oil
1 tsp chili garlic sauce

PLAY AROUND WITH CANNABIS DRESSINGS
These are great, refreshing recipes to start with, but don’t feel like you can’t make your own adjustments. Depending on how stony you want your meal to get you, you can adjust the amount of cannabis oil used and replace more of it with olive oil.
Making cannabis-infused dressings is a super fun way to incorporate weed into your daily routine without smoking. Even better, you’re pairing it with vegetables making for an even healthier alternative.
You can also incorporate cannabis into your diet using cannabis-infused oil in many other ways than salad dressings, like using it to saute or marinade items. Make yourself a batch with your desired potency and get cooking!
