Traditional salad dressing with oil and mayonnaise as a major component
disagree with my stomach.

Can someone provide recipes for salad dressing that don't use oil or
mayonnaise (or use a very very small amount of those items?)

Thanks in advance!

Balsamic vinegar and crumbled gorgonzola.
Look up 'vinaigrette' - there are many variations that I'm sure you'd like

My feeling is that any olive oil is too much for me. A teaspoon of some
other type of oil may or may not be a problem. But your Honey Mustard
Dressing, along with several other suggestions made in this newsgroup is
something I'm definitely going to try.

Hi
My body doesn't care for too much oil either.
I use pepper and vinegar or lime juice, sometimes I add mandarin oranges
from a can and cranberries and a little of the OJ, I can use a little peanut
oil and some nuts. Or some cheese and sunflower seeds, or those new BBQ
flavored almonds.

Check diet recipes, they cut the fats for you. You might even be able to buy
light dressings you like.

1) Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, lemon juice, orange juice
2) Dijon mustard, a pinch of curry powder, salt, pepper, rice vinegar,
orange juice, sour cream
3) Soy sauce, rice vinegar, orange juice

Etc... You just play around with various vinegars, orange juice, sour cream
and various seasonings - it makes for really good dressings too.

And with the exception of the ones with sour cream, they make great
marinades and are really great on hot sliced potatoes.
