My favorite dressing is Western (french). It's loaded with sugar and

fat.

As a thousand island girl, Gwen, I feel your pain! I mostly eat balsamic

dressing - I haven't found a bottled one that I like so I make my own. However,

on Saturdays, either with lunch or dinner, I splurge and have my thousand

island.

I guess I'm not being that helpful but perhaps if you on occassion ate it you

wouldn't mind skipping it on other salads. Wegmans carries a low sugar

French that is pretty decent. If you have one near you perhaps you can try

that.

I will look in my cookbooks and see if I can create/alter a dressing recipe

for you if no one posts something.

Hi all!

I am struggling with salad dressing. Before SB, I always ate the high

fat, sugar saturated dressings on my salads. I have been doing really

well making good choices for my dressings. BUT.....I could sure eat

alot more salads if I could have a safe but tasty dressing.

My favorite dressing is Western (french). It's loaded with sugar and

fat.

Does anyone have a recipe for a sweet, creamy salad dressing or know

of a tasty one on the market, that is SB friendly? The FF french still

has tons of sugar and it tastes awful as most of the FF dressings

taste to me.

I am willing to hunt down ingredients if someone has a recipe to try.

Thanks so much!

I'm not a big french dressing person, but I did make some once for some guests

which they said was really good. I got the recipe from www.allrecipes.com. If

you haven't found this website yet....it is really awesome. You can read

reviews of the recipes and everything. Ok...so let's look at the " regular "

salad dressing recipe...

Aunt Betty's French Dressing

INGREDIENTS:

a.. 2/3 cup ketchup

b.. 3/4 cup white sugar

c.. 1/2 cup white wine vinegar

d.. 1/2 cup vegetable oil

e.. 1 small onion, quartered

f.. 2 teaspoons paprika

g.. 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

h..

i.. DIRECTIONS:

1.. Prepare the dressing by combining the ketchup, sugar, vinegar, oil, onion,

paprika and Worcestershire sauce in a blender or food processor. Blend until the

onion is well chopped. Chill and serve.

Now...if you replaced the ketchup with either the SBD kind from the book or some

other sort of low-sugar kind (does that exist?) and replaced the sugar with some

sort of sugar substitute, you could pull this off! Good luck!

I made this recipe for the tangy tomato dressing and it's really good. I've

made the Catalina Salad (made with browned ground beef, tomatoes, lettuce,

beans, grated cheese and a few other ingreds.) for years and hated not having

the dressing for the SB diet. So I found this recipe and it definitely

suffices!

Outback Steakhouse Tangy Tomato Dressing

Makes 1 cup - Ready in 30 minutes

Ingredients:

2/3 c. ketchup (I use the 1 Carb Ketchup)

1/3 c. water

¼ c. Splenda (To me 1/4 c. was just a little too sweet - I put a little less)

¼ c. white vinegar

2 T. olive oil

1/8 t. paprika

¼ t. coarse black pepper

¼ t. garlic powder

¼ t. cayenne pepper

¼ t. onion powder

1 pinch thyme

1 dash salt

Directions:

Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil,

whisking often, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Cover

the dressing until cool, then refrigerate it until well chilled.

(I put mine in the freezer immediately upon taking off the stove cause I needed

it right away. Did very well)

This looks good, but my computer doesn't do fractions. Every one came out.

Could you send it to me with the fractions written out?
