The Problem With Low-Calorie Foods
The problem with losing weight is, of course, we’re told to eat more fruits and veggies.
So, naturally, we default to eating more salad.
It’s the fastest, easiest way to get more veggies into your diet.
Now I don’t know about you, but I’m usually down for a big salad, but salad dressing has always been a big problem.
I hate, hate, HATE light, watery type dressings. I NEED that creamy texture to coat every last inch of my salads, or it’s no dice.
So I’ve tried lower-calorie or reduced-fat salad dressings purchased from the grocery store.
And you know where this is headed…
They are downright AWFUL, aren’t they?
And they still have way too many calories for me to be happy.
I don’t want a big ass salad with a small dollop of nasty dressing!
I want a big ass salad with HUGE gobs of creamy, tasty sauce on top!
Enter this low-calorie, belly-slimming, plant-based salad dressing recipe to save the day!
Super Low-Calorie Salad Dressing For Weight Loss
The magic ingredient in this super-easy salad dressing recipe is tofu!
Now, even if you don’t think you like tofu, I think you should give this creamy salad dressing a try.
You see, once blended, the tofu turns super creamy!
It has such a neutral flavor that you can easily create different flavors based on how you season it!
When you want Mediterranean inspired dressings, add things like turmeric, garam masala, and curry seasoning.
If you desire a spicier, Latin dish, add roasted red peppers, chipotle in adobo sauce, and cumin.
You can even make ranch, cheesy sauce, and basil pesto!
The sky is the limit here, and not a single week goes by that I don’t have at least two or three mason jars full of creamy tofu salad dressing in my fridge!

What You’ll Need To Make This Low-Calorie Salad Dressing
Before you get started, you do need a few kitchen staples.
First, a high-speed blender is definitely in order.
I use and recommend the NutriNinja because it’s high-powered, compact, and a great price! I’ve had mine for over three years and have never had a problem with it. Don’t you just love high-quality products that last a long time?
Next, you’ll need a food scale.
Even if you don’t count calories, it’s still a good idea to form a positive habit of weighing your food!
I recommend the Ozeri food scale.
I actually own two of them and, again, have had them for years. They are low-priced and perfect for quick and easy food measurements.
Now that we’ve got that covered, here’s how to make this quick, easy, creamy, low-calorie salad dressing!
