Blue cheese dressing makes any salad taste so much more delicious. However, it can also be laden with calories. Now that I am trying to lose weight as well as follow the guidelines for fodmap free, recipes need to meet a lot of expectations. This one is fodmap free, goes well with savory or sweet, is cheap to make, and lasts in the fridge for a month. But the best part is how creamy and clingy it is on greens or fruit. Just divine.
I am following weight watchers, which is a point system that I don’t really love, but I do love all the different foods I get to eat. Keto for someone like me with IBS is not a possibility. High fat is a keto must but an IBS don’t. Instead, WW lets me use the veggies and meats that are IBS safe for me (and many of you). Their meals are low fat, but still include the snacks, bread, rice or pasta that keeps me safe from flareups. Which brings me to this low fodmap blue cheese dressing that I crave to pour all over everything and actually can!
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup blue cheese, crumbles
6 oz plain Greek yogurt
1 Tbsp Hellman’s light mayo
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp white wine vinegar (or apple cider or red wine vinegar)
1 Tbsp chopped basil or other fresh herbs
Salt and pepper
DIRECTIONS:
In a small bowl, mash the blue cheese crumbles into the yogurt until well mixed.
Stir in the mayonnaise, lemon juice, herbs, salt and pepper. Check the seasoning. Some people add garlic salt, but garlic is high in fodmaps so I don’t add it. If I have it on hand, I add a few shakes of Fody Food Lemon and Herb seasoning. You can add whatever you like.
This recipe makes one cup of dressing. You can double or even triple it. Keep it in the fridge.
