Salad Dressings

When I first started my new way of eating I just tried to choose the best dressings off the shelf at the grocery store.  There are some good choices of decently low carb dressings but do make sure you look at the labels and ingredients.  One thing I learned is that reduced fat or fat free dressings tend to have more carbs.  So be aware of that when making your choices.  And remember, healthy fats are not only a good thing but you need them.

I've only found one homemade dressing I like so far but this one knocks it out of the park!

Easy Keto Ranch Dressing

The recipe calls for 2 Tbsp of water if you want to thin the dressing a bit.  When you refrigerate the dressing, it will thicken.  I added the 2 Tbsp the first time I made it and while I loved the flavor, I wanted it thinner.  So the second time I made it I added 3 Tbsp of water.  It's still thicker than I want it so when I make it again, I'll probably add 4 Tbsp of water.  Eventually, I'll get it right!  LOL!

I am also looking to find a good caesar dressing so when find one of those I like, I'll be sure to post it.  I'm a huge fan of caesar salads and even without the croutons, it's an all time fav.
