30Canandaigua Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 http://www.amazon.com/Primal-Blueprint-Healthy-Dressings-Toppings/dp/0984755152/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top#_ This book has saved my life as far as sauces and dressings. I just bought some amazing flavors of balsamic vinegar and a few infused oils. I shared the link in my log. SO GOOOOD! Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pomme Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Mix in mayo or avocado to your dressing to make it creamy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaToMyMunkins Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 My favorite is the southwestern cumin lime dressing from www.theclothesmakethegirl.com LOVE it! She has a few more mayo based recipes you could try as well. http://www.theclothesmakethegirl.com/category/recipes/sauces/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chikabowa Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I found this on pinterest. I haven't made it yet, but it looks good. http://www.foodlushblog.com/2013/01/orange-poppyseed-dressing-paleo-and-whole30-approved.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nankamo Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Here is a good one, just omit the Parmesan. Ingredients 1 tsp organic yellow mustard, or Dijon mustard (dry if it has any questionable ingredients) Garlic powder Celtic Sea Salt Apple Cider Vinegar Organic extra virgin olive oil (I use coconut) Raw parmesan cheese, grated (optional) Directions Combine all ingredients in a salad shaker, and shake well! its still basically the same but seasoned up a little helps a lot! you can add a little lemon juice in that too.

EmilyB456 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I make my own "Ranch." Homemade mayo, apple cider vinegar, coconut milk to thin. I add some crushed garlic, dill, parsley, anything that smells good to me at the time. It's delicious and EASY. Second the cumin lime dressing, too...sooooo godod! And good grief...I don't think I'd make it very long only olive oil and vinegar dressings! They're okay when eating out, or in a pinch, but every day and I'd lose what few marbles I have left. Food that is good for you can taste ridiculously awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciria Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I usually start with the mayo from Well Fed then add spices and goodies like avocado or peppers from there. The book also has lots of great ideas. I also found a recipe for zuchinni "hummus" a while back. I often use that as a base and add more goodies to it and thin it out with water a bit to use with salads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martha Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I like to mash an avocado with some citrus juice (lemon, lime or orange) and then add salt, pepper and scallions or chives. It isn't pourable but it's good on greens (and also on plain grilled chicken or fish). Also love the Well-Fed Creamy Italian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz Rover Bailey Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I try to be low-maintenance. Dollop of compliant mustard, some vinegar (I usually use balsamic, but use whatever you like as long as it's compliant), some oil, some herbs, salt & pepper. Mix thoroughly. Yum. I learned this approach when I lived in France, and the family I lived with would put those ingredients in the bottom of the salad bowl, mix, then make the salad in the bowl, then toss.

Nancy H. Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I make my own 1000 Isle Dressing. I start with Mayo from Well Fed then add some home made ketchup, dill relish, a little lemon juice. this make a super 1000 Isle dressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aberrantatavia Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I make all kinds of variations with mayo, but one of my other favorites is olive oil, almond butter, garlic, coconut aminos, and some hot sauce. Just throw these in a container and shake. It's a little different.... Great with salad that has some chicken or shrimp on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roupl Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 x-posted I have been using a homemade mayo base to emulate creamy dressings, which is very very versatile (as others have mentioned) I used the following tutorial to make fool proof homemade mayo. The trick is to let all of your ingredients come to room temperature, use extra light tasting olive oil (or some other neutral tasting oil of your choice), and blend with an immersion (or hand blender). I was tired of having to clean my 10 cup food processor every time I wanted to make dressing, so I went out to wal-mart and bought a $20 immersion blender and I love it! Once you have your homemade mayo base you can throw in additional ingredients to transform it into various tasty dressings: Caeser dressing: Lemon juice to taste 3 garlic cloves, pressed 1-3 anchovy filets, finely chopped salt/pepper Avocado lime dressing: Lime juice to taste 1-2 garlic cloves, pressed Cilantro 1 avocado Salt/pepper Italian dressing: Lemon juice to taste FRESH sage, thyme, and rosemary, finely chopped Salt/pepper Ranch dressing: Chives, finely chopped Flat leaf parsley, fine chopped (very little is needed) Dill, finely chopped The list goes on...get creative!

jhuss22 Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 thanks so much everyone! I will attempt the homemade mayo today and use the weekend to experiment with these other ideas. This is awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladunn Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I just made buffalo chicken salad...but didn't like the dressing with it, so I made this one instead (instead of milk, I used coconut milk)....yummy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia H. Rushford Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Add a little blasamic vinegar to the Well Fed Mayo. I also did a honey mustard using the mayo, a little mustard and a date to sweeten instead of honey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhuss22 Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 I made the Well Fed mayo last night and the ranch dressing from ISWF. Thanks for the ideas again! This weekend I am am going to try more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janine Costanzo Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I bought a salad dressing bottle on Amazon that has various dressing recipes on the bottle itself, with measurement lines (this one). Not all of the recipes on the bottle are Whole30 compliant, but I imagine you could modify most/all of them to be so. I've only made the balsamic vinaigrette recipe that's on it because I love it so much (and it's Whole30 compliant)! It's especially good if you can get fancy balsamic vinegar--the quality really makes a difference in how it tastes. It's easy to make: 1 clove garlic (pressed, crushed, or diced small) .5 tsp salt .5 tsp pepper 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard 1 cup extra virgin olive oil .25 cup balsamic vinegar Mix all together!

KelKel Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 So I tried to make my own mayo tonight, and doing it with the stick blender (immersion blender to you guys!) was a total bust....into the bin Out came the whisk and metal bowl, and after 5 minutes and a sore arm, I have the most ARM-MAZING (sorry..) mayo. So I would highly recommend giving it a go! Plus one bowl and one whisk is pretty easy to clean up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhuss22 Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 hahaha love it. thanks for making me smile lol. I made mine with the food processor and that worked really well....Good to know it works with a whisk and a bowl.......so much easier to clean that up then the food processor! I will have to give that a try today or tomorrow. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abur0418 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 My friend works at this olive oil shop, olive a sudden. They have flavored oils and vinegars.... Check out their website. It's way easier than making an elaborate dressing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
