    Frugal Foodie Friday: Easy, Low-Fat Sweet Dijon Dressing

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on August 7, 2009 Alisa's Milk-Free Blog

    You may have noticed my recent obsession with salads and homemade salad dressings since early summer. First came the Non-Fat Curry Vinaigrette, followed quickly by the Sesame-Orange Dressing. But, I had yet to attempt my favorite dressing, honey dijon. Once I finally did, it resulted in this Low-Fat Sweet Dijon Dressing of my dreams.

    Low Fat Sweet Dijon Dressing

    You see, my husband just isn’t a fan of anything resembling honey mustard. But, I finally found my opportunity one day to whip up a batch just for myself. I looked up several recipes for this everyday dressing, but all sounded a bit muddled in my opinion. Mayo, yogurt, pepper, onion … too many distractions from the simplistic deliciousness that the basic honey and mustard combo can offer. So I winged it, and came up with my own, surprisingly simple concoction that was delicious, dairy-free, soy-free, gluten-free, and extremely low fat to boot! It can be made with either honey for a traditional taste or agave/maple syrup for a vegan option.

    The thicker creamy consistency is thanks to flaxseeds! The flaxseeds add the tiniest bit of “healthy” fat, which transforms this dressing from non-fat to light, but adds some nutrients as well.

    Reader Raves: Low-Fat Sweet Dijon Dressing

    I originally posted this recipe on my old blog, and a reader named Kathleen shared the following feedback:

    Simply delicious! Doubled the recipe, using 2 tsp ground flaxseed and blended it up. Made it a second time with spicy brown mustard and fig infused white vinegar and it’s still delicious! Yum!! It encourages me to eat a lot of salad:). THANKS!
