Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / March 2005salad dressing?
What do you use? I'm thinking of making my own - I don't like the sugar content of the "lite" versions at the supermarket. Here's my recipe so far: 1 tbsp olive oil 1 tbsp lemon juice 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar 1 tsp grey poupon 1 tsp garlic powder herbs and spices I tried this last night and it was great. DietPower says 134 calories per serving. Any suggestions? Thanks! Mel eat less, move more 225/220/160 > What do you use?

And since the oil makes up most of the caloric content I'm sure it is low for a reason. >> What do you use?

I've not noticed any difference in longevity of commercial dressings between fat-free and regular. And all the ingredients in this recipe are things that keep for ages.

I have a few homemade flavored vinegars I made a while ago and those things can last nearly forever. Things with oil don't last as long. For example, be careful with flavored oils; use them up quickly. Martha > >> What do you use?

I'm not sure why a greater proportion of oil would make the dressing less likely to separate. But in any event, all you'd have to do was shake it up. Chris 262/130s/130s started dieting July 2002, maintaining since June 2004 Well, the recipe makes 1 serving so there's no need to keep it. I did adjust the proportions upward and put it in a small lidded glass jar. As Chris said, give it a good shake and it's set to go. I'm eating a salad every day, whether lunch or dinner, so the dressing will be used fairly rapidly. > >> >> What do you use?

Red or white wine vinegar, olive oil, garlic and herbs is good, too. Wendy Wine vinegar ... ah, I'm going to try it with champagne vinegar - less tart. Thanks! > Your recipe sounds really good, I'll have to try it. Red or white wine > vinegar, olive oil, garlic and herbs is good, too. > > Wendy >What do you use?

Pretty sure the nearest Whole Foods carries them. Thanks for the idea, will go check them out. > >What do you use?
