Healthy Salad Dressing- Diabetic Quick Salad Dressing
At my house, this healthy salad dressing is probably the most used recipe I have!! It’s funny, diabetic quick salad dressing is my very first recipe, I ever added to the blog.
I make this dressing every day! I make it to marinade chicken right when I get home from the grocery store. Then the chicken is ready to grill by dinner or even in the next couple days. I eat chicken on salad at least three times a week. Then I serve the chicken to my kids with avocado and a vegetable and maybe a fruit too!!
I love making my own healthy salad dressing with healthy oil for a lot of reasons. The most important is that most salad dressings at the store are made with soybean oil, which is an inflammatory oil. It’s not good for our bodies and creates more work for our bodies. If you find a dressing with canola oil, which is a little better, it’s still an inflammatory oil. So I love making my dressing with avocado oil or olive oil. It makes me happy knowing I’m feeding my family and myself a healthy alternative.
Want a quick and easy Italian salad dressing that is diabetic friendly? Here it is:) This one is a staple in my house, it uses my staple ingredients: garlic powder, granulated onion and italian seasoning. Shake it up in a mason jar and voila!
This recipe is great for a marinade for chicken, fish or steak (kabobs are wonderful). Make this healthy diabetic salad dressing in a mason jar and keep in the refrigerator.

Salad dressing can do wonders in turning a bland and boring bowl of greens into something delicious and craveworthy. We love making simple salad dressing from scratch but it’s also super convenient to have a bottle or two of premade salad dressing on hand. While there are plenty of unhealthy bottled salad dressings loaded with bad-for-you trans fats and added sugar (ingredients to watch out for in general and especially if you have diabetes) there are also plenty of healthy options. You have lots of choices when it comes to dressing your salad—it’s just about knowing how to choose the best one. Here’s how to find salad dressings that are both nutritious and full of flavor.
how do I find out the nutritional value for the salad dressing? Am I missing a link or something?
Thanks,

Mary, sorry for my delay, I’m just seeing your comment. I added the nutritional value, let me know if that helps:)
still no nutrition values
There was a user error on my part, i didn’t know how to use the nutritional label. Fixed now:)
Hi, still don’t see nutritional information for this.
Hey there, thanks for letting me know. I added the nutritional label, but it was my user error. Fixed now.
How long will the salad dressing last in the fridge? Can you add some preserves in it to change the taste?
I’d say it will easily last a week. I don’t make it in bulk, so I’d try it and see. All the ingredients are shelf stable.
Thanks for this recipe. Is your nutrition information for the entire amount or for a serving? If it’s for a serving, how much is a serving? Thanks.
Thanks for pointing this out, I’m still working on adding the nutritional info to each recipe. It’s a bit time consuming and I’m still learning the system. I’ve added the serving size:)
Do I have to store mixture in the fridge?
I’d say that’s a good idea, but not necessary. The olive oil will harden in the fridge, so take it out ahead of time.
