Olive oil

freshly squeezed lemon juice

vinegar

herbs or mint (dried or fresh )



mix and pour



less than a teaspoon of oil would create more than enough dressing for a salad for one person - and taste so much nicer than shop bought dressings

or you could just use a drizzle of NAR syrup (pommigrante) all the turkish supermarkets sell it its quite thick and syrup like but nice and sharp

This is a fat free version which is so simple

1/4 cup of water

1/4 cup of white wine vinegar

1/4 cup of honey

put into screw top jar and shake violently

the recipe can be adjusted in quantity and orange can be used or lemon juice or mustard or anything else that suits your taste really

The problem is with jars of made up sauces/dressings is that they are highly processed and full of stuff that really shouldn't be there (emulsifiers, preservatives and various other chemical that do us no good at all). Fresh is always best.



Regarding oil, a tablespoon of Olive or Sunflower oil has 120 calories and is full of GOOD HEALTHY fat. We all need polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats as vital sources of amongst other things, omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, the body can't produce these, so they need to come from the food we eat.



Healthy fats need to make up between 25-35% of your daily food intake.

I couldn't agree more with Andrew4232 we have nar syrup on ALL our salads - it is really delicious and a little goes a long way!
