argh...I just looked up what I thought was carb-free sweetener I used to cook with and found it had 56gms of carb per 100gm...it exxplains a lot of why I thought cream cheese was making me spike...it was the added sweetener...THANK YOU SHANNYThe granulated version of sucralose (Splenda) is bulked up with maltodextrin (in fact, maltodextrin is the primary ingredient), which is where the carbs come from. This is to make it measure spoon-for-spoon like sugar. It can deliver a nasty spike too. I use liquid sucralose instead, which has nothing added to increase volume & doesn't spike me.
um I use whole egg mayonnaise and change the flavour by adding vinegar...Question: I love salad, but don't usually eat them b/c I've been "shamed" out of eating any kind of dressing that tastes good. And, to me, it's pointless to eat a salad if the dressing tastes like cr*p.![]()
I'm not a fan of the Italian dressings. What do you all eat for a salad dressing on the LC/HF diet?
Me either, MsT . . . not a fan of boughten dressings at all. I do the same as Deena - have always preferred creamy dressings anyhow, so I just make my own. Mayonnaise, sour cream, bleu cheese, worcestershire sauce, various vinegars, mustard - whatever combination strikes my fancy on any given day. If it's too thick, just thin it with a little cream or even water.Question: I love salad, but don't usually eat them b/c I've been "shamed" out of eating any kind of dressing that tastes good.

hmmm we can get sugar-free maple syrup here I wonder if you could mix that with mustard and mayoYummy - I look forward to experimenting with these dressing ingredients.
Shanny - I also love a creamy dressing. I used to eat this Honey Mustard dressing from O-Charley's that was at the grocery store produce section. Awesome stuff!
Definitely worth a try. Thanks Deena.hmmm we can get sugar-free maple syrup here I wonder if you could mix that with mustard and mayo
Sometimes, I add no carb mayo to my regular 2 carb ranch dressing to get to use double the amount with same carb count. Add sugar free ketchup to mayo and have 1000 dressing...you can even add a little sf relish to it. Some people will water the bought dressing down to stretch it. Sour cream with a little garlic, dehydrated onions and some bacon bits is good for a change. I have even finely grated cucumbers in sourMsTCB said:Question: I love salad, but don't usually eat them b/c I've been "shamed" out of eating any kind of dressing that tastes good.
