>>>Any recipes for creamy salad dressings NOT using tofu? I'm looking for a

ranch, creamy Italian, French, Thousand Island, sesame garlic, or similar kind

for

my 10yo, Anna, who can't have soy due to a thyroid condition. Marilyn

 

Marilyn, I posted several salad dressing recipes today that don't use tofu, but

for recipes using tofu: try substituting an equal proportion of cashews or

Brazil nuts; a nut butter; or brown rice. I know this sounds crazy! But I've

tried doing this and it works! The cashews or Brazil nuts work very well, but

sometimes I want a lower fat option --- so use brown rice instead. Sometimes

the nuts, nut butters, or brown rice don't thicken quite as well so I add

Instant Clear Jel to the recipe. It doesn't require cooking to thicken. . .but

just stirs in for a nice thick texture. I believe it is from a corn source so

is gluten free (I'll have to look that up. . .I researched it once and decided

it was okay to use for our family. . and promptly forgot the details. . .sorry).

Tofu and soy in recipes can generally always be replaced with another food

product. So, if you find a recipe that uses soy. . .just seek the alternative

instead of tossing the recipe out. for example, I've found that fava

bean/garbanzo flour makes a great replacement for soy flour.

Marilyn,

 

Check the files - you'll find plenty of soy free dressings in there. I

know there are soy free ranch, italian and french.

PS.

All the soy free recipes in the files have (SF) after the name, and

all the recipes that can be easily converted to SF have (*SF).

Thanks, LaDonna! I saved several recipes you'd sent, but didn't notice all

the ingredients. I am not worried about fat content--Anna's pretty slim. Thanks

for the hint about the bean flour! And where do you get the Instant Clear Jel?

I've been looking for it for months, with no luck. Marilyn

When all else fails, read the instructions, eh Kim? LOL! I guess I'll check

the files! Marilyn who wasn't thinking too well

Aha! A " secret code " on top of everything else! Thanks for the explanation of

the " SF " and " SF* " ! Don't know if I would have figured that out, the way

things are going today! Marilyn

Yes, BL, coconut milk would be fine, as would coconut oil. It's dairy,

gluten, " artificials " , corn syrup, and soy we avoid here, basically. Marilyn
