Homemade Soy-free Salad Dressings

I've just started to go soy-free, and discovered every dressing in the fridge has soy oil in it. What's up with that?

Anyhow, I'm ... um ... incredibly embarrassed to even ask this ... but if you do simple olive oil and vinegar, what type of vinegar do you use? And do you mix it 1:1 with olive oil?

Also, does anybody have a soy-free, casein-free recipe for a mustard-based dressing? I *love* mustard and was thinking that it could be made into a dressing fairly easily with some oil and possibly more vinegar?

Thanks,

Susie

Homemade dressings are so easy. I make them more than buy because I like the flavor better. Here are 3 of my favorites. You don't have to make the salads, you could just make the dressings and put them on your usual salad.

The part that she calls "sauce" is the the dressing. I recommend that you use asian rice vinegar and clear sesame oil for the oil as well as the dark sesame oil that is called for. Fresh ground pepper, that's not too coarse, makes a difference in this also.

Honey-Mustard Dressing

This is a fairly light balanced dressing.

I agree with Missy'sMom. Homemade salad dressing is easy. Below is the Salad Dressing I use:

2/3 Sunflower Oil

1/3 Plain Rice Vinegar

Salt, Pepper, Ground Oregeno, and Garlic Power to taste.

This salad dressing has the advantage of not needing refrigeration. I have this dressing in my purse in a two ounce leakproof bottle.

You can use balsamic vinegar, apple cider vinegar, rice vinegar...really almost any kind of vinegar...

1 do one part vinegar to 3 or 4 parts oil. Wisk it together. That's all you have to do.

If you mix together apple cider vinegar with olive oil, then add honey and mustard (just add small amounts and keep tasting it until you like it)...you'll have a pretty good dressing.

Annie's makes a honey mustard dressing that I think might be soy-free...but it's better if you make it yourself. :)

Possibly a naive question - I know that almost all soy sauce has gluten in it, and that almost all salad dressings having soy in them - but does the soy listed in salad dressings have gluten in it as well? I'm not sure what exactly the difference b/w soy in salad dressing vs soy sauce is...

The soy in salad dressing is usually one of two things-either soy oil, soy lecitin etc. all of which are just soy. The other type of "soy" ingredient is soy sauce. Soy sauce is made from both soy and wheat, usually. If the salad dressing had soy sauce in it and that soy sauce contained wheat, by law, the wheat is required to be listed on the label.

I don't make a salad dressing very often, but when I do I add a little psyillium husks to it. This makes it thicken and it doesn't separate as quickly. Shake it good and leave it for 15 minutes so the psillium husks can absorb some moisture then shake it up again.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I've never had an issue this side of the pond. If I'm out I drink Bulmers Cider. Sometimes draft and sometimes bottled. The draft cider lines are for Cider only.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hi everyone do you know whether when you get a draft cider if there is a chance that it runs through the same tubing as a beer did sometime prior?  the reason I’m asking is that I’m trying to eliminate a source of hidden gluten that I think hits me about once a month. And I have a suspicion it might be cider from the draft at certain bars. When I am out, if I decide to drink, I usually order a cider brand that I know is gluten free.    what I’ve noticed is that a couple times when I got a draft cider, I got symptoms of being  glutened that night and the day after. This doesn’t seem to happen with all times I drink cider. I had a draft at a very clean brewery and I didn’t react from that, which is what made me start to wonder. Does anyone know if this is a possible source of getting glutened? I am like 99% sure that this is the cause and I think I’ll switch to bottle/can only from here on out, but would be interested if others experienced the same thing (or work in a bar and know how this works). Thanks!

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      Thank you for the update @Rejoicephd it is good to know that you may have some answers.  Keep up the good work with your diet, and do let us know if you do get a firm diagnosis.  I took so long to feel better and for my TTG levels to normalise,  but got there in the end, so also bear in mind it does take longer for some of us.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By StuartJ · Posted

      Well, three months later and a startling revelation!  After going gluten free (and nearly bankrupt buying special foods), my wife made a lunch of meat potatoes and gravy made with Bertolli white sauce - no wheat there right?  Big flare up withing hours and I was really wiped out with it.  She rechecks the label on the sauce bottle and right at the bottom of the ingredients XANTHAN GUM. There's our #1 suspect again!  So by way of experimenting, she decided to try making a loaf of bread with just regular white flour like she used to do and see what happened; the familiar smell hit me when I walked in the door last night and I sat down to eat this still warm, fresh goodness - I thought even if I have to take Imodium sandwiches, it will be worth it 😋 No ill effects, either overnight or today!  Half the loaf is now gone because I had some for supper, saving just one last slice for breakfast in the morning` - I've used the bathroom once and that was normal, so maybe it is not the gluten after all? Can't wait to try a beer! 😁

      Could this be a new intolerance

      By trents · Posted

      Unfortunately, the development of celiac disease usually is not an end in and of itself. It usually brings along friends, given time. It is at heart an immune system dysfunction which often embraces other immune system dysfunctions as time goes on.
