Hey guys,
I like to make my own salad dressing. Usually just the basic oil and vinegar with a mix of spices or a honey and mustard mix.
I was just wondering if anyone has some suggestions for some low cal salad dressing recipes?
Thank you

    Even though you already mentioned honey and mustard - have you combined them with a tiny bit of olive oil, white vinegar & lemon preserve? Absolutely delicious!

    Also, my favorite go-to salad dressing is a Palestinian recipe. You take a few cloves of garlic and a bit of sea salt in a small bowl or mortar & pestle, crush it (with a wooden spoon if you're using a small bowl - fork doesn't work right!), when the garlic is completely mashed you mix it with lemon juice, a bit of white vinegar & olive oil. It's so delicious that I never get tired of it.

    Walton Farms has yummy salad dressings. I have only tried the French and Ranch, but both are really good with lots of flavor. Best part is they have no calories, no fat, no carbs, and no sugar! I found this at HEB grocery in Texas.
