I did some work on the site today. Updated some links for a new recipe site and added some info on oil free products during VLCD under "Diet Info". Take a peak around, there is lots to learn from these links.
So my post for today is a dressing I made up a couple days back. I thought it was OKAY but I have been tweeking it and I think I got it to tasty.
Nutritional Yeast Dressing
1/2 Cup Water
1/2 Cup Nutritional Yeast (55g)
1/4 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar
2-6 Cloves of Garlic
10 Drops Lemon Stevia
1 Tbsp Mustard (to taste)
1/4 Teaspoon Xanthan Gum
Combine everything but the Xanthan Gum. Blend or purée until smooth. Test for taste. This is good as is but you may also want to add some herbs/spices at this point. Depending on the variation you want, you could do cumin or Italian for example. Once Smooth, slowly add the Xanthan Gum while blending. This just thickens the dressing and is also totally optional.
30g serving = ~17 calories
Nutritional Yeast was one of those things that I stumbled upon that surprisingly is REALLY good for us! Take a look around this site as it has info on storage, uses and the health benefits of Nutritional Yeast (also called Brewers Yeast).
One thing I should note: Since there is ACV in this recipe, it is advisable to rinse your mouth well after using it. A member on the HCG DIET CANADA Support group on Facebook made a great point the other day. The vinegar is very hard on the enamel of our teeth so we should avoid excessive exposure and rinse after to avoid tooth decay. I always brush my teeth after a meal anyway but it's a good reminder to not wait.
Cheers!
