| Looking for Salad Dressing recommendations. We've been using the Carb Options dressings as they look SBD legal. Anybody using anything else? Oil & Vinegar just doesn't make a ceasar salad. |

| i use newmans own caesar lite and ken's steakhouse lite, any dressing that has 3 sugars or less is cool. |

| I too am using the new carb options by Kraft. Pretty good flavor. I just bought Ken's Steakhouse Balsamic Vinagrette, really good. I've found it's fairly easy to find dressings so far, it can just be time consuming reading all those labels. |

| I've mentioned this in a couple different posts, but our favorite SBD friendly salad dressing is Brianna's Real French Vinaigarette. |

| I use Maries Balsamic Vinaigrette - the stuff you find in the produce section. 2 Tbsp has 50 cal, 3 sugar, 4 fat, and 0.5 sat fat. And it is GOOD! |

What about the Walden Farm dressings? The claim to be calorie free, fat free, sugar free & carb free, although some of them such as the ranch dressing can be a little high in sodium. The balsamic vinaigrette & raspberry vinaigrette are both ok for sodium though.

| I guess the rule of thumb with dressings are no more than 3 sugars or carbs and the lowest fat you can get being with in this limit. Because it is not about carbs but low fat also. Good carbs and good fats. |

| I'm using Paul Neman's "Light Balsmic Vinaigrette" Total Fat 4g, Total Carb. 2g Sugar 1g Sat Fat .5g. This is for a 2 TAB serving. Tastes great on spinach salad, w/fresh mushrooms and a few "real bacon bits" by Hormel. Also, good w/cherry tomatoes. |

My favorite dressing is salt, lemon, a little redwine vinegrette and a little balsalmic vinegar. Sometimes I add some grated parmasian cheese.
Yum |

I can't find anywhere where it says the dressing has to be as lowfat as possible. I choose the Annie's Natural dressings because I can pronounce the majority of ingredients they use and the dressings I use (which isn't the one that was picked for analysis) has mostly to all organic ingredients. Also, unlike the Carb Option line, they do not use MSG.
I was turned off by Newman's Own when I read the label on their Caesar Dressing. It meets the under 3 gram requirement but no high fructose corn syrup for me. Didn't bother to check any of their other flavors.
I can cut the fat somewhere else to have a better quality salad dressing. For me, it's not about just being under three grams but what else is in it. I'll go with a little extra good fats for good better quality anyday, but that's just me. Now when it comes to carb, I'm afraid there is no leeway there. I do have to count carbs, the good and the bad. Diabetes made that choice for me. |

It depends on the source of that fat. He said for dairy products, get the lowest fat possible, as long as they haven't added bad carbs to make up for the missing fat. So any buttermilk-based dressing, for instance, should be a lower fat version that qualifies for the under 3 rule.
However, if the fat comes from beneficial sources like olive or canola oil, you can get away with a higher amount of fat since it's good for you. I also think it's easier to use less of the oil/vinegar-type dressings than the creamy dressings. |
