Low Calorie Italian Dressing

This Low Calorie Italian Dressing is just 10 calories per tablespoon, it has no oil, is low carb and low sugar and is wonderful on salads and in marinates.

As I note in the recipe card, you can add oil to this if you’re using it in a marinade. But I like to make it without the oil to save more calories.

Low Calorie Italian Dressing

I make this in a jar, it’s my favorite way to make low calorie salad dressings. All you need to do is close/cover the jar and shake. Then you can store it in the same jar you make it in.

I like to add a bit of “heat” in this recipe, so I add a tiny bit of red pepper flakes. But they are optional. So choose that works best for you.

I replaced all of the oil with vegetable broth, it cuts the calories by a-lot! But if you are using this recipe in a chicken recipe I recommend adding 1-2 teaspoons of olive oil to it to better mimic the real thing.
Special Tip: I love making salad dressings in jars. You don'y have to whisk, you can just add the lid and shake! Then the leftovers are ready to be popped in the fridge, it's the best way to make homemade salad dressing.
