Does anyone have a salad dressing recipe that doesn't include the following? Mayonnaise, miracle whip, mustard, vinegar, or sour cream. Sorry I have weird issues. I can have olive oil but only a small amount. I did try replacing lemon juice for vinegar once and didn't care for it much but I'm willing to try it again. Looking for what others might use. Thanks!

    I don't use salad dressings often. When I do, I use different combinations of avocado, lemon/lime/orange/grapefruit (basically citrus), sometimes berries, herbs, olive or other light tasting oli, and for a creamy base I use greek yogurt or a tofu product called better than sour cream. I have also mixed in a salsa sauce without vinegar (allergies to anything fermented or malted), usually something made in-store or Que Pasa brand. You could also make your own salsa sauce if you want. Hope this helps.

    I make my own balsamic vinegar/oil all the time and just throw in random seasonings. Typically the longer it sits the better it is.

    I also started making a ranch dressing with Greek yogurt that I like a lot.

    Basically just take the Greek yogurt (larger container I believe around 4 cups total) and mix it with the dry ranch seasoning. Last time I made it I put two packets in to make it a little stronger.

    You could also try using the zesty Italian dry seasoning as well but I don't know how that would taste.

    Carrot ginger dressing. Like a sushi resturant. Use a blender:

    1 carrot
    1 quarter sized slice of ginger
    1 clove garlic
    1-2T soy sauce
    1 T onion diced
    2T- 1/4 cup water
    A little honey or a date if you want something sweet
    A drizzle of sesame oil (opt)

    Blitz up some dates, small finger of ginger, salt, pepper and water to make it the consistency you like. Sweet and spicy!

    I use avocado mayonaise: mix plain youghurt and avocado then can add whatever you want: garlic, herbs, chilly if you like hotter dishes.

    i make a simple olive oil and lemon (or sometimes apple cider vinegar) dressing with sea salt, black pepper and whatever herbs strike my fancy (often dill). one can also add crushed garlic. the oil and lemon are about equal in amount. refridgerate. the oil will 'set' so you just run the container under some hot water and shake.
