Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / January 2004Walden Farms - 0 Carb Salad Dressing -- Fact or Fiction?
Has anybody heard of these people. Their label clearly advertises "No carbs" and also has "0 carbs" on the nutritional information. I'm eating it (Thousand Island), but it seems like a mislabeling or a cheat of some sort. Anybody else used this? > Has anybody heard of these people.

I did notice that Hidden Valley Ranch has only 1 carb so i'll stick with it. I use Walden Farms BBQ Sauce, Tastes Great.. Their Ketchup is awful. Have not tried the salad Dressing, but see no need to as most Salad Dressing have minimal Carbs. >Has anybody heard of these people.

I do not know what salad dressings you use, but your post prompted me to look at the salad dressings we have in the house. They range from 4 - 12 grams of carbs for each 2 tablespoon serving, with the exception of a hidden valley ranch with only 1 gram (it expired in 1997, so needless to say, it hit the trash). I have tried the Walden Farms dressings, and they are good, if a bit pricey. I would rather mix 2 parts oil, 1 part red wine vinegar, 1 packet of splenda and a little bit of Mrs. Dash. It costs a lot less and tastes delicious. >> I use Walden Farms BBQ Sauce, Tastes Great.. >> Their Ketchup is awful. >> Have not tried the salad Dressing, >> but see no need to as most >> Salad Dressing have minimal Carbs. > From: Slader (Fri, 16 Jan 2004 06:01:20 GMT) > MsgId: <Q6LNb.19500$4P6.6529@nwrddc01.gnilink.net> [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > house.

I'm a French and Thousand Island person. But I get that they're probably amongst the sweetest dressings (notice any connection to my nick here), which is why I was taken aback to see a "0 carb" Thousand Island dressing. Knowing these folks sometimes play games with their labels, I was just wondering if this has come up before. > with the exception of a hidden valley ranch with only 1 > gram (it expired in 1997, so needless to say, it hit the trash). I noticed Italian and Ranch seem to be the lowest in carbs. I'll eat them if I have to, but they aren't my preference. > I have tried the Walden Farms dressings, and they are good, > if a bit pricey.

Sounds a lot like Italian dressing to me, which doesn't really work for me (except somehow when I eat at Olive Garden... I used to love their salads and bread sticks). But thanks for the recipe. We can never have too many of them (as long as they are organized <g>) and there are other folks around here who'd like it. > I noticed Italian and Ranch seem to be the lowest in carbs.

Also creamy garlic dressings often have just one or two.

Look at Kraft Ranch (I like the 3-cheese ranch) and Creamy Caesar (I like the one with bacon) varieties as well as some of the Marie's (produce section). The Kraft ones have 1 gm carb per tablespoon. Some of the Marie's have 0 gm. (I think the bleu cheese is one of them). Lee Marie's are great.. and so thick that you can thin them by half or more with water, make it a more pourable dressing, with no effect to the taste!
