hi there,

Most commercial brands of full-fat ranch dressing are suitably low in carbs. Remember the Rules of Induction are that salad dressing is permitted as long as there's no more than 1 - 2g carbs per serving.

Avoid low-fat and light type dressings .. these will have extra carbs added to make up for the missing fat. 7 - 10g or more per serving!!


hth,

Doreen

I like Wishbone's Garlic Ranch... mmm... If you want a good vinegrette, get Paul Newman's Family Recipe Italian or make some Good Season's Italian in a carafe... both are really yummy.

When you don't have access to any, just reach for a bottle of olive oil I keep a bottle at home, in car, and at work just in case.

I know this does not answer your question about the French Dressing but this seemed like a good place to let you know about a dressing I use at work.

I keep a bottle of Newmans' Own Olive Oil and Vinegar in my drawer at work. It does not require refridgeration after opening so it is perfect for the office space

No idea about French though. You could always mix a Ranch dressing with a little vinegarette to make your own french. Might be worth trying to come up with your own unique taste

Nothing -- I mean NOTHING -- can beat Marie's Super Premium Blue Cheese. Look for it in the produce section.

I -adore- it. It is delicious, -extremely- low in carbs, and has plenty of good dietary fat.

It's thick, so you can also use it for a dip for hot wings or pork rinds.

It cannot be beat.

Default Thanks everyone!

Thanks for all the suggestions! I am still trying to get used to what I can eat and what I can't....but it's getting easier. One problem is I am not getting enough calories a day but I'm working on that.

I use Marie's Creamy Ranch (in your produce section) it has 1g per serving. I also use Marie's Chunky Bleu Cheese on chicken wings...YUMMY! & that says no carbs (but I count it as 1).

I've tried them ALL and my all time favorite is Wal-marts (don't laugh) Great Value brand Caesar. 0 carbs per 2T serving according to the label. The price can't be beat at around $1.29 here in Texas.
