We have great news for those who carefully monitor their nutrition and want to have a slim figure. We found out which salad dressings are considered the most low-calorie, and decided to share tips on their preparation.
What you can not season salads while dieting
The following types of oils provoke a set of excess weight:
- sunflower;
- sesame seeds;
- corn;
- rapeseed.
Due to the fact that homemade mayonnaise is prepared on the basis of sunflower oil, we do not recommend adding it to dietary salads. About purchased sauces is not even a question.
Low-calorie salad dressings
Olive oil and lemon juice
Many nutritionists consider this dressing the most successful. We agree with the opinion of experts and recommend mixing olive oil and lemon juice in a ratio of 1 to 3, adding a little black pepper, dried basil and salt.
Vinegar
One of the most low-calorie dressings is wine vinegar. There are only 19 kcal per 100 g of product. It goes well with meat and fish salads and is famous for a large number of useful elements in its composition.
Low fat cheese
The basis of low-calorie salads are low-fat cheeses - mozzarella, tofu, feta. Add a new flavor to the dish by adding cranberries, grape seed oil, ground garlic and Provence herbs to the dressing.
Honey, watermelon and lime
Recently, a sauce based on honey, lime and watermelon has been popular. Mix the ingredients in a blender until smooth, then add two teaspoons of chia seeds to them and leave for 10 minutes. Two tablespoons of sauce contain only 31 kcal.
Yogurt
On the Internet you can find many variations of dressing based on yogurt. Mustard, riccotta, lemon, herbs and garlic are added to it. We advise you to try the finished product from Bio Balance, which contains only 71 kcal. Yogurt dressing is ideal for diet dishes and has an excellent taste of aromatic herbs.
