  • THE BEST Salad dressing!

    Ok so I went through a vegan phase before coming back to Atkins and bought the book "Skinny Bit**"
    It has the most amazing dressing called Agave Dijon and I made it. TO DIE FOR! Hubby said it was so good I never have to buy another store bought dressing again! LOL
    Anyway, now that I am on Atkins I can't have it, (Agave Nectar), so I made it with splenda and stevia instead and it tastes exactly the same.

    I will call it Amazing Dijon Vinaigrette LOL

    1/4 cup dijon mustard
    1/4 cup red wine vinegar
    2/3 cup olive oil
    2 cloves garlic (through garlic press, you want it crushed good)
    1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
    1/4 teaspoon pepper
    1-2 packets splenda or 1 packet splenda and 1/4 tsp stevia plus (to your taste, I would start with 1 packet splenda and add from there, but you want it sort of sweet, as its kind of a honey mustard vinaigrette, the original recipe calls for 1/4 cup agave nectar)

    Wisk all ingredients and store in air tight container in fridge or eat immediately on your favorite salad. This would make a great marinade for chicken or pork also. The longer it all marinates together the better! YUMMY

    That sounds absolutely delish - I'm gonna use that dressing on my salad today!

    Another good and Atkins-friendly salad dressing is Basic Greek (single serving):

    1t Lemon Juice
    1T Olive Oil
    1/4t Oregano
    1/8t Black Pepper

    Toss it with a salad of romaine, thin-sliced red onion, cucumber chunks and sliced olives. Kick it up a notch and add some crumbled feta at OWL Rung 2+. Can also be used as a basic marinade for chicken.

      Oh how I love Greek Dressing!

      Yasou Greek is awesome, store bought, and no added sugar, only 1 carb per 2 tbsp. and it goes a long way!

      I will be sure to make this one for a try!! thanks!
