Need Ideas For LC Salad Dressing....

SweetPoison2 · 10-16-2009, 05:44 PM

Or, can we use ranch? I think we can! I am making my list now, as I hope to start induction tomorrow....

I do need some salad dressing ideas though!

I make a feta cheese dressing with mayo, a bit of sour cream, feta cheese and some garlic powder. YUM! It is a great dip as well.

I wanna know as well.

Blue cheese is good one of my favs.

I also make a good Sweet hot mustard dressing, just dump portions of dijon, chili garlic sauce, garlic wine vinegar, some extra garlic if you want, and a bit of sweetener. I use it for everything. great on steak salad or hamburger salad , a dip for chicken, salmon or shrimp. Great on avocado and tomatoes. If you want to up the fat you could add some grape seed oil, but I don't.

Does that taste like the Cesar dressing? It sounds good. I can have that on induction too....

I'm on it.

Thanks!!

I just use Kraft ranch. I don't like Hidden Valley even though it's lower carb.

i LOVE bacon ranch. its so yummy!

sistertzu · 10-16-2009, 06:44 PM

Oh my bacon ranch sounds so good!!

I'm glad you liked the sweet hot mustard dressing idea, it is kinda strong so use it sparingly at first lol. I really love it though.

I want to find a ranch that DOES NOT have MSG! Do you guys know of any?

stephanie34 · 10-16-2009, 07:55 PM

thats so funny I just posted this somewhere else. I love ranch and blue cheese, but I was wondering to what are your favorites.

theredhead · 10-16-2009, 08:47 PM

I like making my own. This recipe was posted originally by someone named Sosumi, I think. I cut down the size. I personally don't have any issues with a little MSG, which is what "Accent" is. But I've left it out sometimes and it still tastes yummy to me. I like making my own because I can control the ingredients, and it's easy. I've also made it with sour cream, thinned a little with cream, instead of Buttermilk. Yummy!

Ranch Dressing

1 cup buttermilk
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon Accent® seasoning mix
1/2 teaspoon onion flakes
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon parsley flakes

Blend all ingredients in a blender. Store in refrigerator.

My DH really likes Thousand Island, and making my owns saves carbs. Here's the recipe I use:

Thousand Island Dressing
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 Tablespoons Heinz One-Carb Ketchup
1 Tablespoon white vinegar
2 drops liquid splenda (any artificial sweetener, just a touch)
2 teaspoons dill pickle relish
1 teaspoon dried onion flakes
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 dash pepper
Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Stir well.

Place dressing in a covered container and refrigerate. Makes about 3/4 cup.

Google: The pioneer woman. It's a really neat blog and she has a recipe section (not the tasty kitchen part) and has a really good recipe for homemade ranch. Ceasar too. I haven't made that one yet, but it is on my list.

Kiley2801 · 10-16-2009, 10:32 PM

I thought Marie's in the refrigerated section was msg-free?
