Years of sad salad bar iceberg and bottled ranch gave me the false impression that all salads are bland and boring. But then a few years ago, with a bit of extra time on my hands, I decided to make my own dressing from scratch—and I haven’t looked back since.

While many store-bought options contain additives, sugars and dyes, making it homemade gives me the opportunity to add my favorite high-quality olive oils, vinegars and whatever fresh herbs I have in the fridge—a win for my health and my tastebuds! The only problem? Measuring, mixing and whisking can be both time-intensive and messy. But last month, I was given this salad dressing shaker that speeds up the process while slashing cleanup time in half.

Ever since I started using Kitchendao’s multifunctional salad dressing shaker, there have been significantly fewer dishes for me to clean once I’m done chowing down. The bottle features measuring markers so I don’t need to dirty a measuring cup, and since I use it to store the dressing, it’s importantly opaque, so I can always tell when I’m running low and it’s time to make a new batch. I also enjoy that it features a nonslip ring on the bottom, so I don’t have to worry about it sliding around my countertop as I work.

But my favorite thing about this tool is that it comes with three different tops: one for juicing, one for shaking and one for pouring. I love adding fresh lemon, lime and orange juices to my vinaigrettes, and the juicer attachment lets me get the most juice out of my fruit—boosting flavors while cutting down on food waste.

While it’s built for dressings, this tool is great for making nearly any sauce, gravy or marinade. The bottle is even shaped like a cocktail shaker and features a nonslip ring for my hands to ensure both comfort and efficiency while I mix my ingredients. Finally, when I’m ready to start pouring, the wide-mouthed spout effortlessly dresses salads without spills or drips. Best of all, it’s easy to clean—the pieces are all detachable and dishwasher-safe.

Whether you think you hate salads or already love them and want to level up your recipes, this tool (which is $14 if you're a Prime member) will make every crunch worth savoring.
