Make Your Own Salad Dressings (and They Are Also Diabetic Friendly!)

Impress your family and friends with your own homemade salad dressings.  No matter how perfect your lettuce and other ingredients, the dressing can make or break your salad.  If you are looking for something different, ou might want to try one of these dressings.  And you can always take the basic recipe, add or subtract ingredients to make a recipe your very own.  Here we offer two very different French Dressings and a Creamy Garlic Dressing that are sure to please.

This first recipe is from my vintage recipe collection.  It is from an old Midwestern Church Cookbook.

HOMEMADE FRENCH DRESSING MADE WITH CATSUP

1/2 cup salad oil

1/4 cup vinegar

1 tsp salt

1 scant tsp paprika

1/2 cup sugar*

1/2 cup catsup

1/2 medium onion, grated

juice of 1 lemon

Put all ingredients in a pint jar, screw lid on tightly, and shake well.  This dressing will keep indefinitely in the refrigerator.

*For diabetics replace the sugar with Splenda granular and you have your own homemade diabetic salad dressing.

NO OIL FRENCH DRESSING

1 can (10 3/4-oz) reduced-fat, reduced sodium tomato soup, undiluted

1/3 cup Splenda granular (or sugar)

1/3 cup cider vinegar

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tbsp grated onion

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp ground mustard

1 garlic clove, minced

1/2 tsp paprika

1/4 tsp pepper

In a bowl, using a whisk, combine all the ingredients until well blended.  Store any left over dressing in a jar in the refrigerator.  Shake or mix well before using.

CREAMY GARLIC SALAD DRESSING

1 cup reduced-fat sour cream

1/2 cup fat-free mayonnaise

1/3 cup skim milk

2 tsp Splenda (or sugar)

2 green onions, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 tsp salt

1/8 tsp fresh ground black pepper

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, milk, and Splenda.  Stir in the onions, garlic, salt, and pepper.  Cover and place in the refrigerator for an hour before serving.

Enjoy!
