What Salad Dressing Can I Use?

You can use vinegar (not balsamic because of the sugar content) with a small amount of olive oil.  Also, Walden Farms dressing is acceptable.  You can get in bottles or individual packets (great for taking your lunch or eating out).  Hands down our favorite is the Thousand Island which comes in bottles and packets, and is kid friendly. We are frequently asked about using fat free or lowfat dressings.  Many low fat dressings are full of sugar and other things we are eliminating during the 24 Day Challenge, so best to avoid.
