Since I started my dairy-free diet, I found it hard to think of what food to eat. I am not a fan of salad but I have to do this for my daughter's sake. As some of you know, she has milk protein allergy and I am nursing her so I'm the one who needs to be on a diet. It won't be long 'til I get a taste of the foods I love, for now, I'll be eating salad galore!
I didn't know it will be a bit challenging to look for a dressing. It was also a bit time-consuming because I needed to read all the labels and ingredients first. Good thing I had my phone with me and was able to Google it immediately. I just had to confirm by reading the nutrition facts again. So, the first I discovered was Newman's Own Lite Italian dressing! Yay, I have something for my salad! LOL.
Since I don't really have a starting point for comparison, I asked my husband the difference between the Italian dressings he has tried. He said, the 'lite' word has a big impact, it's a no-brainer. I guess I won't ask for his opinion next time. LOL!

By eating salad for only three (3) consecutive days (at least once a day) I noticed it's easier to pass and I never felt healthier (or it's just a psychological effect). I never thought they're that good, I love crispy food so I chose veggies which are crunchy! I realized it's a blessing in disguise for both me and my baby. Else, I'll be eating a lot of unhealthy stuff (spell desserts).
If you're curious and wanted to make sure before going to the store, here's a screenshot of the ingredients as well as the Nutrition Facts.

How nice! This is great for people avoiding dairy to lose wait. Or those who are lactose intolerant.
ReplyDeletehealthier and it does sound good too. i haven't tried a dairy-free one but i'm sure it must be good too.
ReplyDeleteI have to find that in the grocery, dairy-free will be good for my hubby who is currently on a diet.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good food indeed. It helps you digest easily since most of the ingredients are organic food. Or maybe depends upon your choice of mix. But definitely a helpful diet to stay healthy.
ReplyDeleteI go for sweet and tangy, so it's Asian salad dressing for me. I love your Calamari and Egg Salad, by the way!
ReplyDeleteI love eating salad but I am not very fond of putting dressing on it. Hubby love ranch dressing.
ReplyDeleteI would never recommend anyone eat anything with Xanthan Gum in it. Other Newman's Salad Dressings use Natural Gums for thickening but this one uses the poop of a bacterium instead, a bacteria that cancerously ATTACKS the leaves of certain leafy vegetables, like broccoli and the likes, so don't use that dressing with any leafy vegetable that bacteria attacks naturally, like many salad greens.
ReplyDeleteI recommend that you completely remove Xanthan Gum from your diet, especially since Xanthan Gum easily qualifies as Soylent Green!
