jesspnk4 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Help! What types of dressing do you put on your salads? I have been just putting my avacado and protein in it but would love a little something else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted July 1, 2014 Moderators Share Posted July 1, 2014 I drizzle olive oil and balsamic vinegar on salad. You could mix them together with spices to make your own dressing, but I typically add everything separately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 When I'm in the mood for a creamy dressing, I take a couple tablespoons of homemade mayo, mix in a splash of apple cider vinegar, compliant dijon mustard, garlic power, chili powder, salt and pepper, and that makes quite the yummy dressy.

avondarcye Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Hi I mix up some lemon juice, olive oil a dollop of mustard, usually I add garlic and sometimes spices. spices. You can use vinegars instead of lemon juice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candysmith24 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 The homemade compliant mayo has been a life saver. Additionally I recommend getting the "Wellfed" cookbooks and/or Nom Nom Paleo...they have some great suggestions. The Well fed cookbook contains a sauce called sunshine sauce that is AMAZING for veggie dipping! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesspnk4 Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share Posted July 6, 2014 You all are fantastic!

Keep an eye on amazon.com, both kindle books were available for under $3 a few days ago. If you don't have a kindle or iPad you can still read the books on your computer. I got well fed for .99 cents in Dec 2013. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While you wait for Well Fed and Well Fed 2, check out Melissa Joulwan's site, there are many recipes (including mayo) on there: http://theclothesmakethegirl.com/category/recipes/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avondarcye Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I got some ranch seasoning at Penzeys spices today, It has no bad ingredients. It says to mix with cream and mayo but I am going to use coconut milk and paleo mayo- cant wait to try it. I also bought a BBQ and a Chili seasoning no sugar in either one.

TheresaMarie Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I am really struggling with the homemade mayo!!! It tastes super olive "oil-y"!! so i then tried the ranch recipe in the ISWF book and that didn"t help either. Any suggestions? thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I am really struggling with the homemade mayo!!! It tastes super olive "oil-y"!! so i then tried the ranch recipe in the ISWF book and that didn"t help either. Any suggestions? thank you Did you use light or extra light olive oil? Either of those options is what you want. You don't want extra virgin olive oil: makes the mayo taste too bitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheresaMarie Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Thank you!! I read the recipe and thought i did, but now....is there anyway to counter that?? or another way i can use it? i will try it again after i go to the market and get the "right" olive oil! This is way tougher than i thought it would be. So very grateful for all the forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Strathdee Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 TheresaMarie - You could brush it on some meat or fish and add some seasonings before baking. It works especially well with chicken, which is super lean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators LadyM Posted July 30, 2014 Moderators Share Posted July 30, 2014 I've been making all kinda of wonderful vinaigrettes this summer. Basically, blend/Shake one part acid (vinegar and or citrus) to 2-3 parts oil depending on taste, add a dab of compliant mustard of choice for binding, and include seasoning of choice. Fresh or dried herbs, some grated fresh garlic, chopped shallot or green onion are all good. Fresh turmeric or ginger is lovely. The possibilities are endless, it's so freaking easy, and infinitely tastier than anything you could buy in a store. Add a little hm mayo if you want it creamy.

Derval Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Has anyone managed to recreate Tessemaes zesty ranch at home? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators LadyM Posted July 30, 2014 Moderators Share Posted July 30, 2014 I haven't tried Tessemae's, Derval, but NomNom's Ranch is the best recipe I've tried. It's in her cookbook. So good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derval Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Ranch isn't really popular over here like it is in States, so I'd never had it before I got the Tessamaes. But I've since made the Well Fed one and it was mayo based (and delicious) but the Tessemaes was more like a very thick herby vinagerette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators LadyM Posted July 30, 2014 Moderators Share Posted July 30, 2014 Nomnom is far superior to the WF IMHO: 1/2 c mayo 1/3 c coconut milk 1 T each lemon juice, chives, parsley 1 t each onion powder, fresh dill, kosher salt 1/2 garlic clove grated Serious alchemy happens here. And I'm not even a ranch lover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
