Salad Dressing

  • Can you post your favourite homemade salad dressing recipes that are SBD friendly? Or brands and flavours of store bought one?

    Thank You
  • I make a dressing that I put on a salad of Romaine hearts, kalamata olives, and rf feta cheese.

    Measurements sorta of depend on how many people but for 4 I usually do

    3TBLSPS EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
    1TBLSP WATER
    1TBLSP LEMON JUICE OR LIME
    PINCH OF SALT
    TEASPOON OF OREGANO

    I make it in a larger cup and when you swirl the dressing a few times it emulsifies pretty well on its own. Measurements are an average.... I do it to taste.

    Hope this helps
  • @nat4crim - I was JUST thinking about this today! So glad you posted, can't wait for more replies.

    I bought a glass dressing bottle that already has 6 different dressing recipes on the bottle, it even has measure lines for each recipe so you know where to fill it too, pretty neat....if I actually USED it!! I'm not sure if some of the recipes on it are SB friendly though. Are any of these items okay on any phase of SB: orange juice, apple juice, rice wine vinegar? I know the juices aren't okay if you just sit and drink a glass of it. But the recipes call for 4 oz or less....thoughts? I guess I could just try them and see how it affects my cravings.
