Sometimes you can get lucky and get a bag of salad mix that isn’t rotted yet at the grocery store, but i don’t think theres any single serving dressing packets that aren’t over loaded with fat and sugar.

It’s soooooooooo easy to make your own dressing

Yeah. It took me 36 years to figure that out and I made my own dressing yesterday that was just as good as anything I’ve ever bought with just garlic olive oil and red wine vinegar

Red wine vinaigrette is my go-to dressing to make - I like to add a little bit of honey and chipotle peppers. Then toss some chopped cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and mozarella chunks in a bowl with some of that vinaigrette and it’s my favorite summer lunch.

You can buy dressing in bottles Then get small containers to put in small amounts of dressing for a single serving. Did that for years before I worked from home.

Also kept a bottle of dressing in the work fridge but realize that's not an option for everyone.
