I am just starting my second week on phase one and I am already getting a little tired of salads. What are you favorite dressings? I need help to spice up my boring romaine lettuce salads!

Hmmm, Spring salads. I'll try to think of something good as it is definitely a worthwhile undertaking (at the moment a great dressing comes to mind but it is for summer tomatoes).

I love Kraft Asian Toasted Sesame.
2 Tablespoons is 6 grams fat 8 grams Carbs and 90 Calories.

Great stuff and I never get tired of it.

I love maple grove farms Fat-free Balsamic vinegarette. You could make your own honey mustard too...Mustard, S/f vanilla syrup and water to thin to desired consistency...shake, shake, shake. This is good with chicken too.

The Asian Sesame David mentioned is terrific! I will bring that to work in a little container with a splash of Balsamic If I'm looking for a less sweet dressing, too.

yumm...I make my own. 2 tbs lemon juice, 1-2 (based on preference) cloves of garlic, minced, 1/4 tsp kosher salt, 1/4 tsp ground pepper, 6 tablespoons EVOO - wisk all together...makes about 3 servings (2 tbs each).
No yucky stuff and tastes soooo good! Smile

There is nothing like aged italian balsamic vinegar. I also use an organic grapeseed oil. Add some kosher salt, a dash of oregano, a big chunk of garlic and ground pepper.
For a change add a dash of honey, a few drops of lemon and mustard powder or seed.
Change 2: add a dash of orange juice to the balsamin and oil, a touch of sesame oil and some thai spice from Epicure (if you have that in the US) I also throw in some hot chili flakes.

Experiment, makes salads better. So do a handful of nuts like walnuts, pine nuts or almond slivers with a few crumbles of blue cheese, feta or goats cheese (all low fat of course)

I get real wild and throw in dried cranberries too.

Salad dressing
Your best bet is to make your own if you can. I haven't been able to find a store bought one without a bunch of sugar and additives, but maybe someone else has.

Proteins
I have read you should eat at least 90 gr of protein every day so you wont burn off muscle. If you combine ths with 50 gr of carbs and 20 gr of fat,you will loose. Hard to do tho
