Notice that creamy dressing on my salad yesterday? I made that! And it's healthy at 0 fat grams per serving and the best part is it's not gross! So many no fat creamy dressings are loaded with chemicals and additives you and I can't pronounce and they usually taste awful. That's why I don't buy them.
That said, I am a salad dressing diva. Salads are mere vehicles for the tasty dressing in my mind, but dressings are often high in fat... shed a tear for me. Okay, enough crying. I'm not giving up dressing and I'm not going to have oil and vinegar every night either because that gets boring. So, necessity is the mother of invention, and it is what drove me to create... Drumroll please...
Creamy Maple Mustard Dressing
- 1/2 tsp yellow mustard
- 1/2 tsp organic real maple syrup
- 1 tsp nonfat Greek yogurt
- Pinch of salt and grind of pepper
- Tiny pinch of chili powder
Whisk it up and you have a single serving of creamy, flavorful, nonfat salad dressing. My daughter liked it so much she used it to dip her roasted potato wedges in, so apparently it's a good substitute for fry sauce too.
(Disclaimer: measurements are a close-ish guesstimation since I just whipped it up)
Speaking of salad dressings, we had a delicious dinner salad last night inspired by this one-
Here's a link to that mouthwatering recipe
I made my own yummy dressing to drench this beauty in. It's also a low fat wonder, actually it's a no fat mind- blower! I'm on a roll! Try this simple dressing on your next Thai-inspired salad and see what I mean. Here is the method: pour some Thai sweet chili sauce in a bowl. Thin it out with equal parts rice wine vinegar and water until you can pour it like a salad dressing. That's it!
In case you're not familiar with the chili sauce, it looks like this-
Or dinner was yummy!
My sister even got on the Thai noodle salad bandwagon and sent me this picture of her dinner last night that she whipped up with what she had on hand. Looks yummy sis!
One more no fat salad dressing for you- equal parts of soy sauce and rice wine vinegar with a grind of pepper. It's the best on thinly sliced cucumbers!
Okay I'm done.
