Homemade Salad Dressings

Strawberry vinaigrette

Ingredients

6 Strawberries

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Stevia to taste

Dash of salt

Dash of cayenne (optional)

Fresh ground black pepper to taste

Stevia to taste

Directions

Combine all ingredients in food processor. Puree until smooth. Pour over fresh arugala or green salad. Garnish with sliced strawberries and freshly ground black pepper. Variations: use as a marinade or sauce for chicken. Makes 1 serving (1 fruit)

Apple Cider Vinegar Dressing--Great for salads with plain lettuce!
2/3 c water
1/3 c Apple Cider Vinegar
Stevia powder of liquid drops to taste
salt and pepper to taste
Mix the water and Apple Cider Vinegar together, stir or shake, and then add stevia drops or powder to taste into the mixture.  Finally, pour over your lettuce. You can either add the pepper into the salad dressing mixture or you can just sprinkle it over your salad. Tip:  If you want a stronger, more vinegary taste, switch the ratios (2/3 c vinegar and 1/3 c water). 

Phase 2 Salad Dressing (I have not tried)

I just take some sugar free spicy mustard, some apple cider vinegar, water and Italian spices and shake until the mustard gets blended with the other ingredients I make it creamy sometimes by adding my favorite ingredient, 2 T of cottage cheese, LOL, and blend it all together in the blender, it makes it really creamy. Sometimes I omit the mustard when using the cottage cheese too.

Salsa 1

1 tomato, chopped

1 Tbs lemon juice

2 cloves garlic, crushed

1 tsp onion powder

1/4 tsp oregano

fresh cilantro, chopped

salt and pepper

Chop ingredients. Add spices and chill in refrigerator to allow flavors to blend. (1 vegetable)

Citrus Vinaigrette

2 Tbs apple cider vinegar

1 Tbs lemon juice

1 Tbs orange juice

1/4 tsp onion powder

1 clove pressed garlic(1 teasp. garlic powder)

dash of salt

Stir well and put over vegetable or use as marinade. Can double and store, but best when fresh.

Variation: I omitted the orange juice and added Horseradish Mustard (Great Value or French’s) This makes the consistency more creamy and gives it a tang.

Lemon Vinaigrette

1 Tbsp lemon juice

1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar

Stir well and put over vegetable or use as marinade.
