LOW FAT AND FAT FREE SALAD DRESSINGS

[Guest guest]

THE YOGHURT AND HERB ONE IS THE ONLY ONE I'VE MADE AND USED A LOT. IS YUMMY. I

USE SHEEP'S YOGHURT FOR IT. BE CAREFUL ABOUT THE MEASUREMENTS REGARDING VINEGAR

IN THESE RECIPES. I FOUND ALL OF THESE ON THE NET AFTER HOURS OF SEARCHING BUT I

ADVISE TO ADD VINEGAR SLOWLY AND TASTE AS YOU GO. ALWAYS MAKE TO TASTE. FORGET

WHAT THE RECIPE SAYS!! :-)

Ginger-Asian Dressing

A spin on the Asian dressing theme, this dressing is delicious on salads as well

as steamed or grilled veggies.

Ingredients:

1 carrot, fresh, small, peeled and shredded

2 tbsp white wine vinegar

2 tbsp cider vinegar

1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce (replace soy sauce with Tamari sauce for health

reasons)

1/2 tsp sesame oil

2 tbsp minced onion

1 tbsp hot mustard

1 tbsp fresh ginger root, grated

Method:

Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.

Raspberry Vinaigrette

While we'd usually pass on honey, this salad dressing was too darn tasty and

refreshing to forgo – especially when paired with a salad of mixed baby greens,

feta cheese and toasted walnuts. If you'd prefer to steer clear of honey

altogether you can replace it with one packet of Splenda if you are so inclined.

(NB: 1 tbsp of honey is about 64 calories and 17g of carbs)

Ingredients:

1/2 cup raspberry vinegar

1 tbsp of honey

1 tbsp fresh mint leaves, finely chopped

Method:

Pour vinegar in a mason jar or other container with a tight lid.

Add honey and chopped mint, cover with lid and shake.

If still too bitter, add in a bit more honey or sugar to even out the flavour.
