I make a lot of oil free dressings, and enjoy them, but sometime they are a little too tangy and watery. For creamier dressings I'll use Greek yogurt, and for getting rid of the tart/ tangy overload haha I'll add some stevia, but now to make more of a vinagraiite I use sugar free Maple syrup!!! It adds that little bit of thickness and sweetness to pair well with the vinegar!(: you can customize or play with the recipe and amounts of ingredients used, but this is what I tend to combine:
-SF Maple syrup
-Apple cider vinegar
-balsamic vinegar
-Dijon mustard
-Italian seasonings or garlic powder
-lemon juice(optional)
-Greek yogurt if you want that creaminess.
-splash of liquid aminos

There are some ideas for what to combine. I don't know measurements because I just mix everything to taste, and add in more of what I feel it lacks. but try using maple syrup or sugar free syrup to reduce calories and still get that sweetness and some thickness!(: allow to marry in fridge for a little!

    So this is actually ver valuable to me. What do you mean replace oil? I stick to olive oil over sunflower oil and butter. I have a can of coconut oil I never use.

    All of theese are really new to me. Except Greek yogurt which I cant find in stores.
    What is liquid aminoes? I know biology but not brands or if you just mean generic. Is vegetable juice liquid aminoes? It is liquid and has genes, but not as concentrated as I believe you mean.

    If someone is interested in a lighter calorie vinaigrette or dressing, you can use the maple syrup or Greek yogurt in place of the oil since they have less calories, yet still add some thickness. And liquid aminos are a soy sauce alternative. I use the brand braggs, but the general name is liquid aminos. @OliverMol
