Delicious dressings


Part of reason behind the Fitbitch diet is to help confront habitual ways of eating. We all cook with olive oil for instance and glug it on our salads, but do we really need to use so much of it?
It's only be taking things away that you can really assess your habits, good and bad. In the meantime though, try these dressings/sauces - they're not just 'diet' alternatives but delicious dressings in their own right and that you can carry on using well after Fitbitch is over.
(Admittedly, I've photographed them in a way that makes them look like shots of tequila, but I haven't got my photostudio sorted yet!)

Asian dressing
Fish sauce
Rice wine vinegar
Garlic
Chilli
Fresh lime

Mix according to taste and use to dress carrot and prawn salads, quinoa or any thing else of your choice. Add coriander and our mint in your salads for extra authenticity.

Yoghurt Mustard dressing
no fat Greek yoghurt
Lemon juice
Dijon or Coarse grain

Yoghurt and Wasabi
no fat greek yoghurt
Wasabi paste
lemon juice
This goes perfect with fish or on asparagus and broad bean salads. Use wasabi sparingly though - unless you have a tongue that can take a lot of heat!

Yoghurt and Horseradish
Same as above - really water down with lemon or even Rice wine vinegar which will make it sweeter.

Pomegrante Dressing
Pomegrante molasses (Taj do it, as do any Middle East store)
Rice Wine vinegar
Agave to taste
This goes brilliantly on quinoa with leeks, peas or any other combination of your choice

Lemon Juice
Honestly, it's nice if you use it to dress a super fresh organic salad.

And of course, that's not to mention using just balsamic vinegar.

These dressings will help ensure you get into your dress! (oh god, that was weak!)
