Jeff's Favorite Salad Dressings

Using commercial salad dressing can be dangerous on a low carb diet. Most of them have added sugar. In some cases the amount of sugar is insignificant, but it is difficult to tell. You need to check the labels carefully. The salad dressings below have less than a gram of carbohydrate per 2 tablespoons. Make sure you buy high quality ingredients for the best taste. Store in refrigerator and stir before using.

Creamy Garlic Dressing

1     cup     Mayonaisse (I use Hellman's)
2-4   cloves  Garlic (depending on size of cloves and desired strength)
              Water
              Fresh ground pepper, to taste

Put mayonaisse in a small bowl.  Run garlic through a garlic
press into the mayo.  Add pepper and about a tablespoon of
water.  Whisk ingredients until well blended.  If it is too
thick, add more water about a teaspoon at a time and whisk
until desired consistency is reached.

Carb Count: Entire recipe - approximately 9 grams. 0.5 grams per tablespoon.

Dijon Vinegrette Dressing

3/4   cup     Olive oil (extra virgin is best)
1/4   cup     Vinegar  (red wine or cider - basalmic works but has some sugar)
1     tbl     Dijon mustard

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk until completely blended.
