speaking of carbs, siracha sauce is okay but I noticed it has carbs! I use a TON of this. Thoughts?

I too am so sick of the WF dressings. I don't like any of them and as a result I don't eat salad as often as I should. I can't get through the taste of most of them. I keep trying and keep throwing it out. I've tried mixing a few together for a different taste, adding the WF mayo to the dressing, adding vinegar to the dressing and it's all kind of disgusting. All suggestions are appreciated.

I use lots of ginger, tumeric/curcumin, and cayenne pepper which are all said to aid weight loss. (I really like any of these in my morning shakes and also with my puddings... as long as I also add some extra stevia, too.)

I also use garlic and lemons -- both fresh and dried versions of both.

Salt -- which I used to avoid -- has now become a standard staple (sea salt kind.)

I just always look for sugar and if it has it, its a no. I have never really looked at the salt and it doesn't seem to impact my losses.

i put tony's on everything!

i was told that cholula was a better option than sriracha, as sriracha has sugar in it.

I agree - if i have to smell that phony chemical smell again it will be too soon
I have made a few of the homemade dressings and they are SO much better (and help get your oil in)

I have also acquired a taste for salad with just a bit of olive oil - lemon - and salt and pepper - coming from a former salad dressing whore it makes me quite proud! (and easy to do in restaurants)

I was being creative with some packages today but now I think I will move on to salad dressings. I was at the olive oil store and got a couple new ones. I'm sure I can find some combo that works.

I make a lot of spice rubs from scratch so that I'm certain there is no sugar and I can reduce the salt.

Once the spice rub is mixed up, I keep it in a sealed tuperware container next to the stove so that I can season my proteins and veggies with it.

Fresh chopped herbs (rosemary, basil, thyme) from the garden are also fantastic ways to add favor to boring lettuce.
