Make-Your-Own Salad Dressing
Store-bought salad dressings that contain 3g of sugar or less per
serving are best when following the South Beach Diet lifestyle.
We also advise choosing a dressing made with the right fats, like
extra-virgin olive oil and canola oil, and without any hydrogenated
oils (trans fats). That said, you can whip up a tasty, fresh salad
dressing in just 10 minutes, so why not liven up your greens with
a homemade dressing from time to time? Try this Asian-inspired
recipe — good for all Phases of the South Beach Diet — drizzled
over a salad or served as a dip with cut veggies.
