OOPS!
Forgot to say

a teaspoon or so of honey, to taste.

I think the fresh grapefruit is way better than packaged grapefruit juice of any variety

I have an Asian-style dressing that I put together on the fly...I'm sorry the portions aren't exact.

Start with the juice of 1 medium sized, thin-skinned lemon.  Add approximately 1 Tablespoon soy sauce.  From there, add seasonings if desired.  I usually add shavings of scallions or sesame seeds, small cubes of tofu, etc.

I'm still experimenting with making a Miso dressing without vinegar or orange juice, when I find a good blend, I'll post that up too

I'm using tahini or almond butter as the base for all my salad dressings these days, just whisking in stuff like lemon juice, garlic, onion, sugar (just a tad bit to balance the flavors), etc. I thin it with a little water if necessary after I've put in everything I want.

Aside from being an O, vinegar is one of my worst IBS triggers.

Just a reminder to everyone . . . check all foods in these luscious recipes for compliancy with your own food lists.  

I've given up on salad. I can't make a dressing I like that doesn't bother me. I can't stand grapefruit juice, pineapple juice is too sweet...and lemon juice causes abnormal growths on my face. (acne like red bumps) So I'm doing the Wall-E and having my salad IN A CUP !    (I vitamix lettuce, celery, cuc, spinach and frozen berries..and water) Very tasty.

You can always substitute apple cider vinegar or lemon juice.

Well I got my Verjus in the mail the other day and yesterday I made the following:

1 hamburger patty (grass fed but of course) broken up on a plate, covered with a scoop of black beans and juice, then covered with basmati rice, then covered with roasted garlic stewed tomatoes, then covered with manchego cheese and heated up.  

THEN sprinked some Verjus on top.  OMG... omg... OMG!!!! The Verjus made the entire thing incredible.  The best healthy mexican type dish I've been able to enjoy in awhile!

I went to heaven.

Verjus ROCKS!  As Peppermint would say!!! ha...

Sounds amazing!!! I had to laugh (hence the above)...last I heard... Hamburger patties didn't really get  a chance to eat grass...

I just made a really yummy salad with romaine, firm tofu cut into squares that I marinated in tamari (which is wheat free soy sauce all regular soy sauce is about half wheat), with hemp and flax seeds. The dressing I made was with the left over tamari that the tofu soaked in, mixed with dry mustard powder, walnut oil and a splash of apple cider vinegar. I use apple cider vinegar instead of other vinegars cause I know I can handle it with my type. But I'm sure that even if you didn't put the Bragg's apple cider vinegar in it, it would still be really yummy!!! I have just taken a pic and posted it on my facebook. Too bad we can't add pics here. Oh well. *takes another big bite of her yummy salad*

put er up there!!!

So what is the verdict on Verjus?  Does it fill the need for vinegar or is it more like lemon juice?  And which to buy...red or white Verjus?

I'm really struggling without vinegar...sigh...

read ingredients......if it contains ingredients you cannot pronounce, you wouldn t want to ingest them either!!

read and compare, or post here, someone will be happy to help decide

Thanks so much for the grape juice salad dressing idea!  I tried it and it tastes just like the balsamic vinegar dressing I love on my salads.  

You mean there's a good dressing WITH vinegar?  ewwwww

These are good points for my O husband. I've learned a lot from this thread. For myself, I still use vinegars.

Oh, hello.  I just saw this.  I get quark at our international farmers market.  It's like thick yogurt, only the flavor is slightly different.  In that Ranch dressing recipe (which two of my children insist I fix for their carrot sticks), I usually use yogurt.  If I have quark I'll use it.

Use a very basic hummus( garbanzos, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, water). Thin this down pretty well with water. Waalaa! You have the base for an awesome salad dressing, sandwich spread, mock mayo, or whatever else you want to use it for. Seems so easy, but it took me  years to figure this out. I use it for salad dressings, as well as a sauce when I make some sort of meat roll up in lettuce leaves. I notice that dill, gives it almost a ranch taste. Yum! I also make a little spicy chipotle sauce with it( more lemon, cayenne, cumin).This goes great with any steak salad, or wrap. I put it in my hard boiled eggs for deviled eggs. The possibilities are endless. Try it, try it! For any of my fellow hunters out there, it's a godsend condiment for how limited we are.

The whole vinegar avoid thing remains difficult right along with no dairy so I've just moved on to making homemade mayo with regularity.  The taste is yummy and it enhances the flavor of the salad without overpowering it like vinegar.

I bought the plum vinegar from whole foods. It is acceptable for vinegar. I can't taste any difference.

Tsatziki!

I have cherry juice.  I dont like it.  Could it be used in salad dressing

Sure, but if you do not like the juice, you may not like the dressing.

Add equal parts cherry juice (maybe a 1/4 cup)
and olive oil.
squeeze in the juice of a lemon.

add a few spices perhaps (salt, paprika, fresh ground pepper, oregano, dried parsley, garlic powder,  ...)

Could also add some apple juice.

use it to marinate as well....helps with polyamines

I have an Asian-style dressing that I put together on the fly

I'm not sure but I think "fly" is an avoid for your BT.  How do you do that anyway?  

Quoted from nowishow

zest and juice of one lemon (or lime)
1-2 cloves garlic
1/2 shallot
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp agave
1 TBL fresh herbs or 1tsp dried
1/2 cup oil

Put everything except the oil in one of those small food processers and mix well. You don't need to chop the garlic and shallots this way. Then add the oil a little at a time. Mix until it become a creamy dressing.

The is my basic dressing recipe.

I just made this dressing with dill and it is superb and very easy.  I couldn't find it in the recipe database.  You should really add it.
