Hat kind of Salad Dressing does everyone enjoy?

I like the ones in the spray bottles--I have the Ranch, Caesar's, and Raspberry vinaigrette. The ranch are also great with grilled chicken wings, "buffalo style" and are a great way to avoid unnecessary fat & calories in your Condiments.< /p>

There are healthy ways of makin most any dressing. I love ranch. There is a recipe in the foods section on how to make it with Greek yogurt that taste like hidden valley.

Well, I remember when I went to my educational day seminar the nutritionalist said that she didn't want to see us using low fat or fat free dressing and she wanted us to us real butter on our veggies. Something about your body still requires some kinds of fats and those are two of the things they are in. Has anyone else heard this?

Absolutely. The body does need some fats. Benjamin is a huge advocate of this.

I love honey mustard dressing. Since, we actually use so little, the nut said she wouldn't deprive me of my fave.

Classic extra virgin olive oil and balsalmic vinegar dressing is still a winner in my book.Good fats, lovely taste. I had some with a little avocado recently, but it was a really small amount.

Yes we need fats! Fat doesn't make you fat. Our brains are 2/3 fat. Granted it's a different fat than what is on our abdomin. So yes in moderation enjoy full fat dressings, butter, etc.

In addition to the well known "good" fats, having a minimal level of dietary fats is useful in helping to absorb the fat soluble Vitamins (A,E,D,K); I'm working on getting in around 60g in fats in maintenance mode. You also need a lot of the nutrients that come along with carbs, but that's out of fashion at the moment (unfortunately, our bodies don't understand these fads, so they still insist on this nutrition.)

[Pre-OpLoser619 36]

Yes definitely need good carbs too! None of this processed stuff though... Sugars, hfcs, etc. you can get plenty of carbs with nice healthy veggies! Everything, imo, is about balance. I don't think it's healthy to ever exclude something completely unless you are allergic or something.

I use the wishbone spray dressing in the ranch. Ranch is always my go to, and this tastes great but has 15 cal per 10 sprays, with less than 1 gram of sugar.

I use lemon and olive oil , my favorite! Sometimes I blend in some feta cheese because I can live off feta . I also make my own dressings being that I am a chef, ! Lol
