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.
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.
