Gf Salad Dressings...

I'm trying to find a good Italian salad dressing that is actually gluten-free. Anyone have a favorite. Preferably low fat or fat free. I've heard Kraft's is gluten-free, and then again I've heard it isn't. I used Ken's vinagarette for a while, but then I found out none of their products were gluten-free according to the company. I can't bear to eat a salad plain, and salad is usually my only option when I dine on campus at my university.

Hi, I use Annie's Naturals (Raspberry Vinaigrette, and Balsamic Vinaigrette) and both are labeled gluten free. I get mine in the regular store and I have bought a few single serving packets from the Gluten Free Pantry to take with me to restaurants. The balsamic one tastes more like a vinaigrette, and the raspberry one tastes a little bit like Thousand Island dressing. I hope this helps. I can't stand plain salad either.

Other salad dressings that are supposed to be gluten-free are:

Here is my vinaigrette recipe that can be adapted to easily fit anyones taste:

1/2 shallot , minced

1 - 2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp dried herbs of your choice OR 1 Tbs fresh herbs of your choice

2 Tbs red or white wine vinegar, try to use a good quality brand

1 tsp lemon juice

1tsp dijon

3 - 4 Tbs olive oil

Place all ingredients in a jar or plastic container and shake to combine. Refrigerate for later use, shake well before use. Makes about 4 servings.

Variations: Add pureed berries for a strawberry, raspberry or other vinaigrette (about 2 tbs for this recipe). Roast shallot or garlic for a different flavor. Use flavored vinagars (as long as they are gluten-free) or balsamic vinegars or use flavored olive oil. Add minced olives, roasted peppers or sun dried tomatoes to the vinaigrette.

This keeps quite well for a little over a week.

Enjoy~

:D Several varieties of Newmans Own are gluten free as well.

I have a newsletter from a support group that gives a list of Ken's dressing that do not have gluten in the recipe. Like many companies that produce both gluten and gluten free products the statement is the usual one regarding minute possiblity of cross contamination. The packets are handy and my daughter uses them without problems. She also just got blood test results that confirmed her compliance with the gluten-free diet after 2 months. Did you call the compay? I'm confused!

To determine oif the Kraft dressing is gluten-free, just read the ingredients. They will clearly list gluten.

Hey! This is a really good Italian dressing!

"Wheat & Gluten FREE There are no Wheat by-products, and we use apple cider vinegar instead of white grain vinegar."

Really??? I thought Ken's dressings are glutenfree, too. Hm, i'm also confused now. And plain salad? Yack...

Well, i don't like the Annie's dressings, so i might go back to the Kraft's dressings and read the labels again. They say it on the label.

Was a good idea to mention this. Thanks.

Oh, well. Lots of greetings, Stef

Yep, I make mine, though have used Annie's honey mustard and tuscan dressing while on travel. Making it will allow you to get the flavor you want, and if you've got a mini fridge in your room, you can store it there. (But the other suggestions about Kraft and the other brands are good too... :-) )

Wishbone has three gluten-free Italian ones that are great: Italian, Robusto Italian, and Classic House Italian

The only Ken's one that is gluten-free I think is Italian w/ aged romano.

OK folks, Ken's says the following dressings do not have gluten as part of the ingredients:

LITE DRESSING:

Lite Olive Oil Vinaigrette, Lite Ranch Dressing, Lite Country French w/ Vermont Honey, Lite Italian Dressing & Marinade, Lite Chunky Blue Cheese, Lite Northern Italian, Lite Balsamic & Basil, Lite Raspberry Walnut, Lite Sweet Vidalia Onion,

REGULAR DRESSINGS:

Sweet Vidalia Onion Italian w/Aged Romano, Ranch Dressing Creamy French, Balsamic & Basil Country French w/Vermont Honey, Creamy Tomato Bacon Thousand Island, Russian Dressing Caesar Dressing, Red Wine Vinegar & Olive Oil Italian Dressing & Marinade, 3 Cheese Honey Mustard, Greek Dressing Chunky Blue Cheese,

FAT FREE DRESSINGS: MARINADES:

Fat Free Raspberry Pecan Herb & Garlic, Fat Free Sun Dried Tomato Lemon & Pepper,

Ken's does say that not all of these are made on dedicated lines so there is a SLIGHT risk of minute contamination. This, of course, is true of ANY product not made on a dedicated line.

      Thank you for your response. You are right, this is not worth the damage to my thyroid since I know gluten is bad for me anyway. I stopped the challenge and did the IgA and tTG-IGA tests and am waiting for results, although I know it is likely they will be false negative anyway. I figured since I wasn't ever really strict about cross contamination, they might show positive if I do have celiac. I did the genetic testing a few months ago and was positive for DQ8.

      I’m so sorry you’re going through this—it sounds like your body is sending a clear signal that gluten is a major trigger for your Hashimoto’s. The dramatic spike in your anti-TPO (from 50 to 799!) and the severe symptoms you’re experiencing suggest a strong immune reaction, even if celiac testing wasn’t done earlier. While a formal diagnosis would clarify cross-contamination risks, continuing the challenge may not be worth the damage to your thyroid and quality of life, especially since you already know gluten worsens your antibodies and symptoms. If you need answers, you could discuss genetic testing (HLA-DQ2/DQ8 genes) with your doctor—this can rule out celiac predisposition without a gluten challenge. For now, prioritizing your health by quitting gluten again (strictly, given your sensitivity) and supporting gut healing (like probiotics, L-glutamine, or zinc carnosine) might be the wisest path. Your thyroid will thank you!

      Well then, I'd say he's making excellent progress. It can take some time for antibody numbers to normalize. Even though new antibodies are no longer being produced, it takes a while for the old ones to be disposed of. Make sure you keep an eye on the alkaline phosphatase levels. It is probably true that is tied to his adolescent growth spurt but it's worth tracking. Thirteen years of elevated liver enzymes was what eventually led to my celiac disease diagnosis. But I was 50 years old by that time and it was my ALT and AST that were mildly elevated all that time, not my alk phos. I just found out last week from an ultrasound that my liver is 20% larger than normal and I'm hoping that is a legacy effect. I have more testing lined up.

      Hi. Sorry, his previous levels were >250 and we do not know how high they were. So yes, "off the chart". By 'detectable' I just meant that at 234 we now actually have a number as a baseline that we can measure future labs against. All his other liver test functions have been normal.  Just the elevated ALP. Thank you.

      Hi all I'm looking for a safe place to eat in Wilmington, DE. Any ideas? Thanks Jenny
