Guilt-Free (and Delicious!) Salad Dressing Recipes
So when I met with the Whole Foods Market “Health Starts Here” team last week and heard about their oil-free dressings, I of course had to ask for a recipe or two to try—and share with all of you!

Strawberry Balsamic
Serves 8
Strawberries are in season and tasting great. Add them to your salad, then drizzle some of this on top for additional berry flavor!

- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 shallot, chopped
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- 1 1/4 teaspoons Dijon mustard

Low-Fat Caesar
Serves 8
One serving of the average Caesar dressing has at least 150 calories and 15 grams of fat per serving. Swapping this salad dressing for the typical one everyday for a month? A simple way to drop a full pound.
- 2/3 cup (about 5 oz.) firm silken tofu
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons light soy or chickpea miso
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic
- Ground black pepper, to taste
Combine all ingredients in a blender. Mix until smooth.
