I want to make my own salad dressing instead of using store bought. Any HEALTHY LOW CALORIE recipes? :bigsmile:

    I'm a vinegar freak so can do a salad with just vinegar... would love some other ideas though.

    Golden Garlic

    1 cup evoo
    1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
    1/2 cup honey
    1/4 cup low sodium soy
    lots of fresh garlic and ginger (as much or as little as you like)

    put all ingredients in food processor. I will never buy store bought again.

    Check out recipes (online) from Cooking Light magazine and Eating Well magazine. I have pulled quite a few dressing recipes from both of those sites.

    *low-fat sour cream mixed with salsa for a taco salad
    *olive oil with your favorite vinegar (I prefer red wine vinegar and rice wine vinegar...balsamic for a treat since it has more sugar and calories)
    *Greek vinaigrette: 3T red wine vinegar+3T olive oil+1T water+clove of garlic (or less if you don't like it)+pinch of salt, pepper, and dried oregano
    *slice a garlic clove in half and rub the inside of your salad bowl with the cut side and throw your veggies in. Sprinkle on 1-2T of your favorite vinegar and 1T of olive oil, toss and enjoy.
    *For coleslaw: non-fat greek yogurt, lite mayo, and balsamic or rice vinegar.
