Ok my low carb friends, got a challange for you.... With all these salads I am eating I am getting sick and tired of dressings. I need new ones and wondered if I cound pinch your favorites. I use
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 tablesppon white vinegar
squeeze of fresh lemon juice
pinch of dried oregano
pinch of fresh black pepper
...well shaken and left in the fridge for an hour prior (optional, but I think the flavour is better).
Any other ideas???? Im not really a fan of the creamy ones so help!!

I dont have a measured recipe for it, per se but I make a Roasted Onion Vinaigrette...
Lightly coat with olive some white onions and red onions-diced, season with sea salt, black pepper and granulated garlic - roast it until its well caramelized.
Set half of the onions aside, the remainder add to a blender, add a little more olive oil, champagne vinegar, fresh garlic, fresh basil and oregano, blend into a thin puree.
Cool everything down in the fridge immediately.
Then add the other half of roasted onions to your vinaigrette... its extremely delish!0 -
This is just an idea. Something I am currently experimenting with that is working for me! Walden Farms have calorie free, sugar free salad dressings. I take 1:1 ratio with my favorite light salad dressing. Therefore I have cut the calories in half as well as the carbs in half and I get totally happy with the flavor!0

My go to is higher in calories but it is yummy and keeps me full
EV olive oil
balsamic vinager
spicy brown mustard
I usually mix 1 Tablespoon of EVOO, some splashes of Balsamic Vinger and a healthy squirt of spicy brown mustard.
I use these small containers (hold 1.5 ounces) I bought from Tupperware (come in a 6 pack) and I put everything in there and shake, shake, shake to mix.
I usually use 1/2 per salad so calorie wise I think comes out to about 70-80 calories0 -

Yum, great ideas! My boyfriend's mom makes the best vinaigrette, I need to get the recipe from her!
I want to try adding blue cheese chunks to a vinaigrette, sometimes I don't feel like a creamy dressing either, but a little blue cheese goes pretty far in the flavor department...or even feta!
My mom's friend made this for me before and it was amazing!
Garlic Vinaigrette
1 1/2 cups olive oil
1/4 cup vinegar (any kind you prefer, balsamic, rice, malt...the milder the vinegar add more to taste)
3 crushed garlic cloves
2 teaspoons sugar or 2 teaspoons golden syrup (Sugar Substitute to equal)
1/2 teaspoon mixed Italian herbs
1 pinch salt
1 pinch pepper
