Is blue cheese dressing allowed during induction? Any particular brand you guys recommend? Thanks.

I like to make my own batch and keep it in an airtight container. It keeps for quite a while! I simply mix equal parts of mayo and sour cream with blue cheese crumbles, salt & pepper. Sooo yummy.

mmorlock - that sounds really good & easy, too

but for the laziest person alive, is there a bottled brand that anyone uses?

Ken's brand, check the carbs on the back of the other brands when you go to the store. they are usually 2-5 carbs per serving but ken's is 1carb i believe. The have a few to choose from though.

Re: blue cheese dressing

And remember that the rule for commercial dressings is that they should have no added sugar on the list of ingredients

Prepared salad dressings without added sugar and no more than two carbs per tablespoon serving are also fine.

Also the serving size is important to note as carbs are often given 'per serving' in USA. If the serving size is one teaspoon and you use 2 tablespoons of it you need to count for 6 times the carbs listed per serving
Manufacturers are allowed to state 'zero' if the number is less than 0.5 and 'less than 1' if it has between 0.5 and 0.9999. So if the label says something has zero carbs per teaspoon it might have just under 1.5 carbs per tablespoon.
We are lucky outside USA as our labels generally list the nutrition info 'per 100 grams' (3.5 ounces) or 'per 100 mls' (6.75 tablespoons) which makes it easier to work out how many carbs we are eating.

Re: blue cheese dressing

Yes, good to remember that. Funny how tiny packages are sometimes labeled as 2 or more servings - people are clueless.

I haven't shopped yet so I'll keep all of that advice in mind. It may end up better to go with mmorlock's recipe after all. Then I'd know for sure what I'm getting.
