Vinegar?

[trouble]

Are we allowed vinegar and oil on our salads?

Re: Vinegar?

Raw Unfiltered Brown Vinegar is the suggested choice. It is called Bragg's
and you can find it at health food stores. I bought the normal size bottle for about 3.25.
Olive oil is good for your salads. Hope this helps.

Re: Vinegar?

Here is an extract from the allowed list

For salad dressing, use oil and vinegar (but not balsamic vinegar, which contains sugar) or lemon juice and herbs and spices. Prepared salad dressings without added sugar and no more than two carbs per tablespoon serving are also fine.

Acceptable Fats and Oils
Many fats, especially certain oils, are essential to good nutrition. Olive oil is particularly valuable. All other vegetable oils are allowed, the best being canola, walnut, soybean, grapeseed, sesame, sunflower and safflower oils, especially if they are labeled "cold-pressed" or "expeller-pressed." Do not cook polyunsaturated oils, such as corn, soybean and sunflower oil, at high temperatures or allow to brown or smoke.

Butter is allowed. Margarine should be avoided, not because of its carbohydrate content, but because it is usually made of trans fats (hydrogenated oils), which are a serious health hazard. (Some nonhydrogenated margarines are available in health-food stores.)

Hope this helps

Re: Vinegar?

the Braggs stuff is for the candida folk and is Apple Cider Vinegar.
As Elizellen quoted you you can have vinegar and oil as a dressing as long as it isn't basalmic vinegar.

Re: Vinegar?

Just for the folks who wonder about balsamic vinegar.....

Balsamic vinegar contains added fruit juices (usually grape or berry) to help 'round out' the acidity. Imported balsamic vinegars can too--unless you buy the real stuff at $50.00 a ounce.

Also, be aware when buying apple cider vinegar. Make sure the label says "apple cider vinegar" because there is a product in the US called "apple cider flavored vinegar"
