I need to make a dressing that has either no oil or less than a tablespoon. I cannot eat cow's dairy, sugar, or flour (allergies)
I love apple cider vinger, balsamic vineger, lemon, fresh herbs, mustard....you name it. Please helpI love making fresh homemade greek salad but... (recipe q)?
Are you allowing 1T for the whole recipe of salad dressing or just 1T for one person's portion of salad?
Here's a recipe I found on vegparadise.com She has alot of oil free salad dressing recipes that sound really yummy. Sounds like one of the ingredients in many of them is either guar gum or xantham gum for thickening purposes.
Here's one that sounds yummy:
CREAMY GARLIC SOY DRESSING
Yield: 2 1/4 cups (440 ml)
1/2 cup (120 ml) raw pecan pieces
1/2 cup (120 ml) lemon juice
1/4 cup (60 ml) water
4 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened soymilk
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 1/4 teaspoons soy sauce
1 1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon guar gum or xanthan gum
Combine the pecans, lemon juice, water, and garlic in the blender and blend on slow speed for a few seconds. Switch to high speed and blend for about 30 seconds, or until the mixture is a thick, satin-like puree.
Add the remaining ingredients and blend for 1 minute, or until the dressing is smooth and creamy.
Use a funnel to transfer the dressing to a narrow-neck bottle for easy pouring. Serve immediately or chill for later use. Refrigerated, the Creamy Garlic Soy Dressing keeps well for up to 2 weeks. Shake well before.
Note: Guar gum and xanthan gum are both used in very small quantities to thicken sauces and dressings. Guar gum is a dried powder that comes from a legume plant grown in India. Xanthan gum is a powdered natural carbohydrate. Purchase them in natural food markets.
