What to do if you don't like WF
Hi guys, I'm having a hard time. So far I haven't liked any of the Walden Farms salad dressings I have tried. I can't keep spending money on this stuff if I don't like it. I am really weird about food anyways. What's a girl to do for her salads? Are there any other brands that are good? I am a single working Mom so I don't really want to take the time to make my own if I don't have too. all suggestions greatly appreciated!!

WF options
Some ideas I have seen are to add your own spices to WF to change the flavor or make your own dressings. Quite a few recipes in the internet. i don't know of any other brand with those stats.

I've found a couple I like, but my go to is garlic paste, brown mustard, worcestershire sauce, and a bit of soy sauce. Blend to your liking then add a bit of olive oil. You can make it taste Asian or a faux Caesar.

When I am at work and forget dressing I put dill pickles on it (with a bit of juice) salt and pepper. But I LOVE dill pickles!
I also use a little olive oil, salt and pepper comboe. THe only WF dressing I like is the Caesar one. |
I used to use the WF Italian dressing all the time, it was the only one I liked.
For the past several months I make my own. I use one of the good seasoning shakers that came in a kit, but use my own seasonings. If you don't want to make a big batch of dressing, just add the following right on top of your bowl of lettuce: 1-2 tsp olive oil, 2 tsp apple cider vinegar, salt & pepper to taste, and toss. You can try adding other spices like Italian seasoning. |
I can't stand WF dressings either. It's not 0/0/0 but I get Good Season's Italian dressing mix. 5 cal, 1 carb per serving before you make it. I make it up with just vinegar and water, and then add the oil directly to my salad, so I can make sure I'm getting the right amount.
With the Good Seasons, each batch I make, I put in different additives, though the flavor is very good on its own. Extra garlic, onion powder, dijon mustard, soy sauce, a little Splenda...etc... This is the only salad dressing I like, and will take my 1 carb. I don't care for the lemon juice on my salad. I do eat just grapeseed oil and vinegar often, too, with pepper, salt and some carb-free McCormick salad topping mix. |
Make your own! Google "Ideal Protein salad dressing" and you should come up with a bunch of recipes. I do use the walden farms for certain things, but I prefer to make my own dressings for the most part, less preservatives!

My coach sells the WF by the packet so I could try the diff kinds before buying some. I also like the packets for being able to put them in my purse on the go for the restaurant. Some aren't great and at first I hated them, but now I've grown to like them well enough for the convenience.
I use Renees "Tuscan Italian" for my italian dressing but not sure if you have Renees in the States |

I do like some WF dressings, but mostly use my homemade one...
Oil Apple Cider Vinegar Spicy Mustard Lemon Juice Salt Pepper Garlic Powder |
I am not one that really likes the WF products (i like the strawberry and pancake syrup, but that's about it). I haven't done it since re-starting IP, but i absolutely love the raspberry vinaigrette you make with the IP raspberry jello. Tastes really good! I typically make my own now (grapeseed oil, bragg apple cider vinegar, mrs. dash garlic, mrs. dash onion, salt and pepper). The homemade dressings just taste better to me and i know what is going into them.

I have only tried the WF Italian but one of the ladies I work with suggested mixing in olive oil and vinegar to make it taste better. Then again I have only been on 4 days now, and it's not horrible.
