Salad Dressing

[Jules3681]

Will I be able to use salad dressings and marinades that have more than 3g of sugar in Phase 2 & 3? I have some dressings and marinades that have up to 6 or 7g of sugar per 2T, but are fat free or low fat - I don't want to have to throw them away

Just some suggestions I've come up with...

#1
Prepare your salad a few minutes before hand...try putting just 1 TBSP of dressing on your salad...toss it together...and wait about 3-5 minutes before you eat it. You may find that 1 TBSP of dressing is more than enough.

#2
I'm not sure what kind of dressings you have, but if your really into penny pinching, take 1 TBSP of your dressing and add something "ok" to it...like, lime juice, lemon juice, a little extra virgin olive oil...this will help equal out the sugar content.

#3
Keep these (high sugar) dressings and use them as a marinade themselves...soak your chicken in them, your pork, your beef for a few hours....you can get a lot of flavor in your meat this way, but discard/wipe away the remaining dressing instead of drenching your food in it during cooking.

Was I any help?
I'm here if ya need more!
