Salad Dressings No Cal - Low Cal

Salad Dressing
While Wildtree has a number of bottled salad dressings and salad dressing mixes -- my personal favorite is to make my own salad dressings simply by combining a seasoning blend with grapeseed oil and apple cider or balsamic vinegar. Here are some of my favorites:


LEMON DILL DRESSING
1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
3 Tablespoons water
1/2 cup Lemon Grapeseed Oil
1 Tsp. Dill Blend or Opa Greek Seasoning Blend
1/4 tsp. Ranchers Steak Rub


**Amounts of seasoning blends can be altered to your taste buds. Whenever possible - I make the dressing a few hours before I plan to use it the allow the flavors to bloom.


BASIL PESTO DRESSING
1/4 cup Balsamic Vinegar
3 tablespoons water
1/2 cup Basil Pesto Grapeseed Oil
1 heaping tsp. Basil Pesto Blend

"French" GARLIC & HERB DRESSING
1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
3 tablespoons water
1/2 cup Garlic Grapeseed Oil
1 heaping tsp. Garlic & Herb Blend
1  tsp Dark Brown Spicy Mustard

Healthy Butter Spread

Make  your own "Butter Spread" & eliminate all those cheap oils from your diet!!

Here's another product I've struggled with over the years -- a truly healthy butter spread. Yes, you can find those that contain "some" healthy oils and but by in large along with those healthy oils they throw in soybean oil & canola oil...which are now almost always genetically modified & contribute zippo nutrition.  After a fruitless search for the perfect butter spread - I decided to just make my own. Like the body scrub -- eeaaasssyyyy peeeassssyyy!


I left a stick of organic butter (I use only organic butter because non-organic butter has the highest concentrate of pesticides of all dairy products on the market) on the counter for several hours to soften.  Then I placed it and 1/4 cup of butter flavored grapeseed oil in a bowl and whipped it together with a hand blender. After I did it, I realized I probably could have done it in one of the smaller containers of my Magic Bullet and then just put a lid on it -- in the future that's probably what I'll do.
