Need A Substitute For Salad Dressing

[ArtGirl]

Anyone up to a challenge!

Does anyone have a recipe for something I can use to make tuna or chicken salad with? I'm probably asking too much for it to be free of so many categories, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

Gluten-free, corn-free, egg-free, soy-free and dairy free.

How about hummous? Take a can of chickpeas, drain, whirl in food processor with tahini (ground sesame seeds), garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil.

Or could you make a lemon/olive oil/garlic/onion kind of dressing, and use some watered-down mashed potato flakes to make it creamy?

olive oil and balsamic vinegar is good, especially if you add in white beans, artichoke hearts, cilantro, etc. I made my man this concoction last night (I don't eat beans, so I didn't taste it), but included roasted peppers and olives as well.

avocados and tomatoes (with a little lime juice). quite tasty. :-)

Have you tried baba ganouj? (Eggplant & sesame with olive oil, garlic, &c.) It has a very luscious silky texture.

a cuke blended with some dill, lemon juice, and salt might make a good substitute.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll give them a try.

Leah - I've never hear of baba ganouj before. What kind of store do you find it in - or do you make it yourself.

We have a great Middle Eastern grocery here in Raleigh, but you can definitely make it at home (I have & probably will again, since I'm a little nervous about the potential cc at my grocery.)

Here's a link to a recipe:

Hope you like it as much as I do! It's my first choice on any Middle Eastern menu. (Especially now that taboulli is verboten!)

How about Veganase? I'm not sure if it is gluten-free or not, but I thought I would throw it out there as an option. You can find it at most health stores.
