I received product from Zing Anything for my review. All opinions are my own.

Quite often, we have a salad with our dinner. It seemed odd to me that we would go to the trouble of preparing a dish with delicious fresh vegetable and then top them with store bought heavy dressings containing who knows what for ingredients. I decided to put a stop to the craziness by mixing our own dressings. Remember, I am not a great cook by any means. The only dressing I could come up with was combining extra virgin olive oil with a little balsamic vinegar and some chopped garlic. It was good, but it got old fast.

I learned of a product from Zing Anything, called a Salad Zinger. This handy kitchen gadget allows you to add herbs, oil, vinegar and anything else you want, to create a fresh salad dressing. The bottom of the Salad Zinger has a grinder for herbs, fruits, or any flavors you desire. The top part of the Salad Zinger holds your liquids- oil, vinegar, etc. Once your ingredients are in the containers, simply twist to chop and then shake to blend the flavors. As your Salad Zinger rests, your liquid will become infused with flavor.

I received a Salad Zinger a couple days before Thanksgiving. I decided (in a rare moment of culinary creativity) to try making a herb and olive oil basting juice for our turkey. I put fresh organic sage, rosemary, basil and garlic into the bottom chopping cup. I added olive oil to the top portion of the Salad Zinger. I let the mixture marry for a few hours and then drizzled on my roasting turkey. It was great. We could taste the bouquet of herbs on the turkey meat. It was really enjoyable.

I think the Salad Zinger is a handy kitchen gadget that has several uses- salad dressing- marinades, basting, and much more. I did learn that the chopper works best with smaller amounts of herbs. I added a bit too much and it stopped my chopper from being able to twist (chop.)

You can buy a Salad Zinger on the Zing Anything website. Connect with Zing Anything on facebook, twitter and pinterest.

Hello, my name is Laurie. My family and I live near the Oregon coast. When we aren’t at work, in school, or on the volleyball court, we enjoy traveling, cheering for our favorite sports teams, playing outdoors, and checking off items on our bucket list. We are lucky in that both sets of our parents, as well as our siblings and their families, live within an hour of us. We get together often to help one another out, celebrate milestones, and go on adventures together.
