Guest guest Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 I just rejoined a few days ago (was a member a long time ago) and am wondering does anyone have any suggestions for low calorie salad dressing? I do not want to buy one from the store that is full of chemicals (no asparatame or anything I can't pronounce/find/make myself). Lately, I have been using salsa but would like to have something that would go with our everyday fare. I have asked some friends with no luck. So I figured if anyone knows of a good dressing, it's got to be someone here. Thanks! Margar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 Marg: there are several recipes in our files. Just go to the home page at: / and click on files in the left hand margin. Also , I sometimes use straight blueberry vinegar which is delicious (thanks Iris). Click on our " links " in the left hand column of the home page for info of how to find/buy blueberry vinegar. on 6/8/2003 10:35 PM, margarinva at onslowbb@... wrote: > I just rejoined a few days ago (was a member a long time ago) and am > wondering does anyone have any suggestions for low calorie salad > dressing?

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2003 Report Share Posted June 10, 2003 The most recent issue (or maybe one back) of Vegetarian Times had some salad dressing recipes that sounded good. Low fat - but not as low fat (or low calorie) as the blueberry vinegar. Way-back-when I had a recipe from Weight Watchers that involved pureeing pimientos. Seems to me it also involved a little vinegar and some mustard, but I've lost the recipe. I recall this being very, very good - but at the price of pimentos at the time (in jars like olives) it was a little pricey. I haven't priced them recently to see if the situation has improved to the point of trying to figure out what else went into it.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2003 Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 Just choose a blend of foods that taste good by themselves and have a suitable texture and you won't need " salad dressing " . " salad " can basically mean anything. Some pieces of juicy fruit can add some moisture to a salad. Coconut can add some good fat and texture. You can always modify the ingredients in your salsa to suit your taste and the rest of the meal, using different herbs, etc. Mike On Mon, 9 Jun 2003, margarinva wrote: > I just rejoined a few days ago (was a member a long time ago) and am > wondering does anyone have any suggestions for low calorie salad > dressing?
