I must admit the thought of giving up my natural low fat salad dressings was enough to make me want to run away, but I told myself to give it a fair shot.
So I attempted to make a salad dressing from the book Paleo for Athletes and it came out surprisingly good!
This one is a flaxseed oil based dressing.
I started with some nice fresh ingredients:
1/3 cup flaxseed oil
1/2 of a red pepper
1 medium tomato
1 tsp mustard powder
3 tsp lemon juice
I blended it all in my ninja blender:
And that was it! Literally not even 10 minutes to make your own healthy fresh salad dressing....
I wondered why I had been stressing out about finding gluten free healthy dressings for the past few years and did not start doing this sooner.... Live and learn I guess :)
I portioned it out into little individual containers so it would be lunch bag packable friendly ;)
I got it to 6 servings for 3 points plus per serving. You could stretch it to 8 or play around with the oil. I may try to use olive oil next week and use less and more veggies and perhaps even some almond milk. I will keep posting the new ones I like though! :)
Do you make your own dressing?

add vinegar (experiment with all the flavors) and seasoning (crushed red pepper, cracked black pepper, oregeno, basil) some crushed/minced fresh garlic.
of course, I have no idea what has gluten but I do make some mean dressings!
Every summer, my wife and I experiment with making salsa - it's great to just play around with it. If it's full of ingredients you like, it should taste OK mixed together.
