olive oil - 4 tbsp
white white vinegar - 2 tbsp
wholegrain mustard - 1 tbsp

4 servings you can change the olive oil to 2 tbsp and the vinegar to 4 to lower cals

i love light italian! its so good!

I'm simple. EVOO and red wine vinegar. Maybe some McCormick's Perfect Pinch Italian (No salt woo!) and pepper. Delicious!

I just got done making a bottle of dressing. I used up the Kraft Catalina Fat Free and I thought I'd try my own. I looked up a couple recipes on the World Wide Web of Internets and came up with the following:
1 cup sugar, 1 cup vegetable oil, 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tsp salt (I used no sodium substitute), dash of paprika, 1/2 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp mustard powder, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1 tsp ground onion. Whipped it in a blender til it looked blended. It tastes fine, not sure how many calories yet, but at least I can pronounce all the indredients and there's no corn syrup in it. It just doesn't look red like the store bought kind. They use tomato paste as a base. Mine looks like a creamy italian dressing.
When it was finished I used a funnel to put it in the Catalina bottle I just emptied.

My favourite home made low cal dressing is my own recipe of :

2 tablespoons of Smuckers Twice the Fruit Raspberry Jam
4 tablespoons of no sugar rice vinegar
2 tablespoons of water
1 package of splenda (optional)

Mix well and add more water if too vinegary for your taste.

1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup mild extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
ground black pepper to taste



Its soooo Yummy. I make mine a little differently, but its all the same.

I take a Dannon fat free greek yogurt and mix it with some Ranch dip mix. Use it for dipping or thin it down with a little water and put on my salad. Dip is 18 calories for 2 TBLS.

I do this too! I make my own dry Ranch dip mix and keep it in a small covered glass jar and then take a little bit of the mix, a pinch of buttermilk powder and combine it with fat free plain Greek yogurt or honey Greek yogurt and add a little bit of water to make it easier to mix in with salads.

Can I ask you how you make your own dry ranch? Sounds good.

15 saltines, crushed
2 cups parsley flakes
1/2 cup minced onion
1 or 2 tablespoons dried dill, depending on your taste preference
1/3 cup onion powder
1/3 cup garlic powder
1/8 cup onion salt
1/8 cup garlic salt
1 tablespoon of sugar
1 tablespoon of black pepper

Blend crackers in food processor or small blender until a powdery texture is obtained. Add parsley flakes, minced onions, and dill and blend until powdered. Put powdered ingredients into a bowl and stir in all remaining ingredients. Store in an airtight container.

If you want to make a large amount of dressing at one time, one full tablespoon of this mix will blend with 2 cups of wet ingredients (yogurt, sour cream, mayo, liquid buttermilk, etc).
I make single servings of dressing with this mix using just a pinch of the mix and a pinch of powdered buttermilk and blend with a little bit of Greek yogurt and some water or lemon juice and vinegar!
