Looking for salad dressings?

Here are some of the salad dressings we've bought since starting Isagenix.  In the beginning it was discouraging to find hardly any dressings with sugar listed as the 5th or lower ingredient!  (Remember, you're looking for sugar to not be in the first 5 ingredients of anything you're eating!!)  :o(  I couldn't believe it!!  But we hunted at a bunch of stores and have since found plenty!  :o)  They may be more pricey than the ones you're used to but remember that you and your health are worth it!!

Note:  Almost all of these we found over in the refrigerated section by the produce/salad and not down the dressing aisle!!   Not to say that other stores wouldn't have them but we found almost all of these at Target and WinCo if you're having a hard time finding them.

Bolthouse Farms has a FANTASTIC selection of dressings and they are ALL 45 calories or less per serving with no added sugar (they use fruit juice instead, awesome!)!!  (Thank you Bolthouse Farms!)  That link will send you to their site to see their yogurt dressings and their vinaigrettes.  My favorites from them are the Raspberry Merlot Vinaigrette & Tropical Mango Vinaigrette.  We also tried their Thousand Island Yogurt, Honey Mustard Yogurt (it's got that mustard-y spicy kick to it, which you probably either like or don't like so be away of that), and Caesar Parmigiano Yogurt (had high hopes for this one but it isn't my most fav.  Bummer).

My hubby's favorite dressing is Wishbone's Light Blue Cheese

Makoto makes a Honey Ginger dressing but it is not my fav either.  :o(  The flavor is good and it has lots of ginger, which is fine, but there is hardly any "sauce".  It's mainly finely chopped pieces of ginger that you're putting on your salad instead of a dressing.  :o(  I wouldn't recommend it for a salad but it could be yummy to marinate chicken of something maybe?  I'll have to try it with the rest of ours.  (We got this one at Smith's.)

And last but not least, Kraft makes a Greek Vinaigrette and my absolute favorite right now is their Classic Balsamic!!  Yum!!

ps.  You can always get the Hidden Valley Ranch packets and make your own ranch dressing with your Kraft Olive Oil Mayo too but this is probably the least healthy one by far (even the ingredients in the mix aren't good for you).  :o(

So head to the store and see if you can find some of these dressings to use on your next salad!  :o)

Cottage Cheese Tip

Want your 2T of salad dressing to go a little farther?  Try adding cottage cheese!!

Since starting Isagenix, we've been buying Nancy's brand from WinCo.  It's organic and I recognize all the short list of ingredients! ;o)  They also make the yogurt and sour cream we've been buying.  I will tell you though that the yogurt is VERY tangy and the cottage cheese is too!!  I don't really eat the cottage cheese plain because of that (it's an acquired taste and I think 'if that's what it's SUPPOSED to taste like, how many not-good-for-you-things have been added to the stuff I've been used to'??!) but you can't really tell when it's mixed into your salad.  :o)  And it's pretty runny (other brands might not be) which helps with your dressing.

Keep an eye on calories but I add maybe 1/8-1/4 cup of it to my salad.  :o)
