I have to tell you about this wonderful salad dressing. It’s delicious, and it’s NOT loaded with sugar and saturated fat like other salad dressings can be. It’s the Trader Joe’s vegan creamy dill salad dressing.
Some people say that salads are bad for you because they are sugar bombs or saturated fat bombs. Usually it’s because of the salad dressing.
if you would enjoy something similar to ranch dressing, and if you don’t mind the taste of dill, and if you are not allergic to almonds, you can avoid some of those issues with this particular salad dressing. It’s cauliflower-based. Here is a photo of the ingredients from the Trader Joe’s website.
Noticed that the ingredients are all vegan (plant-based), no dairy products from cows, and no eggs from chickens. It’s mostly water, cauliflower, canola oil, and almond butter.
Here is a screenshot of the nutrition label from the Trader Joe’s website.
Note that the Trader Joe’s creamy dill vegan salad dressing has only 60 cal, nearly all of which comes from unsaturated fat, which is the good fat. The fat comes from canola oil and almond butter. The salad dressing has 0 g of saturated fat, less than 1 g of carbohydrate, 0 g of sugar, and less than 1 g of protein. It has 120 mg of sodium, which is 5% of the recommended maximum daily sodium intake.
Aside from 0 calorie salad dressings, Trader Joe’s vegan creamy dill dressing is one of the best salad dressings for nutrition, that I have been able to find.
I like the taste and texture. I frequently drizzle it on top of any type of savory hot dish, not just salads. If I put together a plate of food, and I think it is too dry after heating it up in the microwave, I might drizzle some of the Trader Joe’s vegan creamy dill dressing on top. It adds creaminess, and helps to cool food down, both in terms of temperature and spiciness. I use this as a topping, similar to the way some people use sour cream or yogurt.
I also like it as an alternative to mayonnaise sandwiches or as something to drizzle on top of tacos.
Enjoy!
