unique salad dressings?

bearxfoo

I'd really, REALLY love to start eating salad more but I'm not sure how great a salad would taste without dressing.

My problem is that I have a lot of foods I will not eat, because I simply do NOT like them. Like "I'm going to vomit if I eat this" kind of dislike.

They are:

Mustard
Mayo
Ranch
Sour Cream
and I really don't care for many oils or vinegar.

So that's my issue. Many, if not all dressings contain at least one of those things, so I'm like... lost on what to do.

Any suggestions?

Greek /Plain yogurt with a little water, garlic powder and dill.

I made a salad the other day with romaine lettuce, green apples, pecans, blue cheese, green peppers and onions. I was almost done with the salad before I realized that I did not put any dressing on it. I didn't miss the dressing at all.

Bolthouse farms yogurt based dressings.

Do you like salsa? Sometimes I'll put some chicken and salsa on a salad with other salad fixings. Its like a taco salad, minus the taco.

Have you tried balsamic vinegar? It's delicious, I put it everywhere, even in my sandwiches.

I dice up tomatoes (with all the yummy juices), green onions and add a little basalmic... Very very low calorie and tastes pretty good

I'll have to try some with the yogurt.

Thanks for the suggestions!

I mixed some creamy garlic dressing with salsa the other day and omg it was sooo good! Whatever type of creamy textured thing you like, say yogurt, like greek yogurt, take that and mix with salsa, adding a bit more salsa than creamy stuff. You will love it!

Fruit based dressings are different and good. Puree red or black raspberries with oil & walnuts. If you don't like olive oil, there are options: white truffle oil, coconut oil, sesame oil, etc.

Salsa, guacamole, or pureed veggies and fruit with herbs.

Or you can lightly coat your salad with sweetened water, and serve it with a mixture of veggies and fruit. I don't need dressing when I have ripe strawberries, kiwis, tomatoes....

I use Red wine Vinegar or cottage cheese

Hummus is really good too. I also will put my salad in a bowl and add hot soup or stew on top and it will wilt the greens. Super yummy!!

lemon juice & bacon salt

Newmans makes a light lime vinaigrette dressing. Love it!

Pomegranate vinaigrette is really good. It does contain olive oil, but it doesn't have that "oily" texture.

A sqeeze of lime juice and a dash of chilli sauce can really liven up a salad or steamed veggies.
If hyou haven't tried balsamic vinegar - give it a go and see if you like it.
Or, add fruit like mango or orange to your salad - it gives a lovely bit of sweetness to the salad and you really don't need dressing.

How are you with Asian flavours? Sweet chilli, cilantro, soy sauce and lime makes a nice quick Thai-inspired dressing....

1 Tablespoon Peanut butter, a dribble of lemon juice, 1teaspoon garlic, 1teaspoon light balsamic salad dressing and soy sauce (optional) - I use this as more of a vegie dip but it's still good.
