You are so right. I was reminded of this video this morning when I cleaned the kitchen counter and saw a jar of vinegarette that I had made. How to Make Vinaigrette Salad Dressing: Jacques Pépin Techniques | KQED. The first thing Pépin talks about is the amount of sugar in salad dressings. It’s a short video and worth a view.
That label shows 37 carbs which is right at the 40 carbs that many recommend for the entire day. Where the blazes did all those carbs, aka sugar, come from? Not added but in the food already.
Don’t buy prepacked full of junk sauces and dressings. Make your own. Those lite salad dressings are still full of calories. I cut the oil called for in the recipes to just a scant and replace it with water so less than 15 calories per serving. Could probably cut out all oil especially since most all olive oil is fake anyway.
