Salad dressing ideas?

[sherrie918 3]

My doctor says no more than 3 grams of fat in any serving and I'm allergic to Vinegar.

Any suggestions for dressing a salad?

What about hummus? There are so many different flavors. I'm not sure the fat content right off. Also, you can mix dry ranch packet with fat free Greek yogurt. Both of these options would give you some extra Protein.

You can also blend fruit with a bit of olive oil if you want something less creamy. Strawberries, mango, blueberries, or raspberries are all good options.

I would try substituting the vinegar for fresh lemon or lime juice in recipes. You might have to adjust the recipe a bit, so taste until you like it.

A variation of the ranch with yogurt is you can put ranch and cottage cheese in a blender, thin with milk until you like the consistency.

I use the Walden Farms dressings. They're not exactly the same flavor but they're close.

Yes --- Walden Farms has a big selection of low fat and sugar free food. That's what I use now.

The Greek yogurt with ranch tasted pretty darn good to me (and I don’t even like Greek yogurt but love ranch) I found it a little thick to spread it out as a dressing, though. Anyone have ideas to thin it out.

You could add milk to it and maybe more of the ranch mix if needed to adjust the flavor.

The original recipe is great for a veggie dip.

I like to use southwest spicy mustard, it even makes riced cauliflower tolerable!
