Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 12m

Yield 8 ounces

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup low fat cottage cheese
3 tablespoons buttermilk
1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
1/8 teaspoon salt (optional)
1 1/2 teaspoons cider vinegar
1/8 teaspoon hot red pepper sauce
1 clove garlic, minced (or 2, if you like)

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in a blender.
  • Process until mixture is smooth.
  • Store tightly covered and refrigerated.

Tips:

  • Choose low-sodium ingredients: Opt for unsalted or low-sodium versions of soy sauce, tamari, and other salty ingredients. Also, use fresh herbs and spices instead of pre-made dressings, which often contain high amounts of sodium.
  • Use citrus fruits or vinegar for acidity: Instead of relying on salt for flavor, add a squeeze of lemon, lime, or orange juice, or a splash of vinegar, to brighten up your dressing.
  • Use healthy fats: Incorporate heart-healthy fats, such as olive oil, avocado oil, or nuts, into your dressing. These fats can help enhance the flavor and make the dressing more satisfying.
  • Experiment with different herbs and spices: Don't be afraid to experiment with different herb and spice combinations to create unique and flavorful dressings. Fresh herbs like cilantro, basil, and mint can add a burst of flavor, while spices like garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika can provide a savory touch.
  • Make a batch ahead of time: Save time and effort by making a larger batch of your low-sodium dressing and storing it in the refrigerator for later use. This way, you'll always have a healthy dressing on hand for your salads, grilled vegetables, or grain bowls.
