Hi guys. I had some more questions about salad dressing. In this video, we’re going

to discuss salad dressings in general. Just kind of give you some ideas of what

I like, what I don’t like. Combining ingredients with taste. Ideally you would

want a salad dressing with oil and vinegar, right? So yeah, balsamic vinegar.

You have apple cider vinegar right here. You have extra-virgin olive oil right

here. There’s even the avocado oil which a lot of people are starting to

use now. But I just want to go through some types of dressing and the problems that

you’re going to run into. Now Bragg’s is a really good brand. The

challenge is that even though the ingredients are good, it’s too watered

down for me. What I like, when I put some dressing on a salad,

I want more oil. So, it’s mainly like water so I really don’t like this. Here’s

another one. Hawaiian, Bragg’s Hawaiian. It’s just like

a lot of water, there’s hardly any oil in here at all. So I don’t really like those.

And the purpose of the oil on the dressing is to also extract some of the

nutrients, the phytonutrients, especially the carotenoids. Those are like the

Vitamin A family of phytonutrients. So here’s one right here.

This one right here and the problem is the first ingredient is soybean oil. So

it’s going to be GMO. Here’s one here. It’s a raspberry sugar-free dressing. The

first thing is when you consume this, it’s very watery it doesn’t really taste

that great. There’s no soy in here but there’s sucralose and I don’t like that

type of sugar. Okay, so here’s one right here. This is a really good one right

here. It’s called Buttermilk Ranch dressing and this one has hormone-free

buttermilk, non-GMO sunflower oil. It has sea salt, onion, garlic, water, vinegar, eggs.

I mean it’s really healthy. It just doesn’t have any taste. So good stuff, not

good taste. Now this one right here, cilantro lime. Now this one has sunflower

oil, organic apple cider vinegar. The only thing it has,

it has all the good stuff but it just has a little agave nectar. Now would I

consume this? Well, I want to look at the sugars. Well it has less than one gram of

sugar, so they were probably using a very small amount of agave and it’s organic

so I think I would consume this because it’s very, very small. If it’s less than

one gram, it’s very tiny. So this would be an okay dressing, but if you start seeing

that the sugar is very high, where the first ingredient is sugar, stay away

from it. Alright now, we have the Stone well Kitchen cilantro lime okay dressing.

Now there’s, if you really have to start reading these, because I bought this one.

This is an olive oil in balsamic vinaigrette and I like the ingredients

because it’s basically just pure olive oil, balsamic vinegar, spices and garlic.

That’s it. This is awesome and I put in a little bit

of peanut butter, I shake it up and it becomes thicker. So this is one I like

but then I bought another one, assuming it was olive oil and the first oil was

canola. So again, canola. If it’s not, doesn’t say

non-GMO, organic, it is GMO. So I don’t want to consume this. You really want to

balance out your oils. You want to have omegas. If you have too much Omega-6, that

would be like safflower oil, sunflower oil, any of the oils that are like, even

corn, soy, which we don’t want to recommend those. You want to balance out

the Omega-6 with the Omega-3. Now of course, you’re not going to put fish oil

in your salad dressing but you want to consume more fish or consume fish oil or

chia seed oil or flax oil. Those are Omega-3 fatty acids. I like the fish oils

the best. But chia, hemp, flax, is all Omega-3, but it has a little bit of

Omega-6. And then, the other thing you want to avoid, is you definitely want to

avoid all soy oil. Okay, it’s contaminated with you know, glyphosate, which is the

herbicide. Soy, you want to avoid corn oils. It’s in the vegetable oils. Stay

away from that, cottonseed oil and canola. Those are GMO, unless it’s organic.

Alright? Well thanks for watching. I put a couple

links down below of some amazing recipes on how to make your own dressing. Alright,

talk to you later.
