Dukan Diet Recipes – Salad Dressings and Vinaigrettes

Posted on June 20th, 2011 by Amber in Dukan Diet Recipes

Salad dressings and vinaigrettes are really indispensible on the Cruise Phase as they add another dimension of taste to your salads. As you can only have salad on PV days there is an additional ingredient which you can use in your recipes which I had never thought of using before and that is tomato juice. Other ingredients that you can use are lemon juice, various vinegars, Dijon mustard, garlic, herbs, spices, salt and pepper, sweetener and zero fat yogurt and cottage cheese. Once made the dressings will keep well in the refrigerator for a few days.

I’ll start by providing the recipe that I use for dressing from the Dukan Diet book which actually uses oil. It is virtually the same as the book except that I use olive oil and omit the salt.

Maya’s Vinaigrette

Ingredients

5 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon of olive oil
1 peeled clove of garlic (optional)
1 tablespoon of fresh chopped basil
Pepper

Method

Put all of the ingredients except for the garlic clove and pepper in a clean glass jar with a screw on lid and mix throughly.
Season with pepper to taste.
Add garlic clove to jar if used where it will release its flavor into the vinaigrette.

Zesty Lemon Vinaigrette

Ingredients

2 tablespoons of lemon juice
2 tablespoon of white wine vinegar.
1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard
Freshly ground black pepper
Sweetener to taste

Method

Use the same method as for Maya’s Vinaigrette adding the pepper and sweetener at the end to taste.

Zesty Yogurt Dressing

Ingredients

2 tablespoons of zero fat yogurt
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon of chopped fresh herbs ( usually use flat leaf parsley and a little mint)
Freshly ground black pepper

Method

As above

Spicy Tomato Dressing
