Like so many low carbers, I eat LOADS of salads. I don't however like bought salad dressing. I make a simple vinaigrette and add some herbs or other flavours to the different salads to change them a bit
Basic vinaigrette recipe;
Into a jug put a teaspoonful of sweetener, half a teaspoon ful of salt, a grind or two of fresh pepper. Add about a quarter cup each of lemon juice and white wine vinegar. [aall quantites variable]
the add a teaspoon dry mustard . mix ingredients thoroughly. then add a cup of good oil [I prefer not to use olive oil, because it has a strong flavour, but that's personal choice]
Whisk the vinaigrette until it combines thoroughly.
Keep in a jar in the fridge.
For a tomato salad sprinkle salad with basil and oregano, then add viaigrette and toss. For a mixed salad try finely chopped chives or spring onions.
Whatever you like is perfect. this is not about carefully measured ingredients. If the vinaigrette has a "too strong " taste, just add a little water. You can add cream or creme fraiche too if you fancy.
