What to Eat with Diabetes: Winning Salad Dressings
By Jessie Shafer and Elizabeth Burt, R.D., L.D.
Want to find a salad dressing that's both delicious and good for you? Try one of our 18 salad dressing finalists or winners. We conducted blind taste panels with more than 75 people, including people with diabetes, and awarded the top-rated salad dressings our Diabetic Living What to Eat seal of approval.


Taste-Tested & Diabetes-Friendly
Salad dressings can turn a mundane bowl of lettuce into a flavorful dish. But a drizzle of some dressings can load down a salad with extra fat and sodium. So how do you find a dressing that's tasty and nutritious? Diabetic Living's staff took on the challenge to taste and rate any dressing that met our nutritional requirements (below). More than 75 people, including PWDs, tasted the dressings in a series of blind taste panels. The top dressings were awarded the Diabetic Living What to Eat seal of approval.

Nutritional Guidelines:

Every dressing tested had to meet these health requirements per 2-tablespoon serving:

-- 100 calories or less

-- 7 g total fat or less

-- 2 g saturated fat or less

-- 0 g trans fat

-- 10 g carb or less

-- 350 mg sodium or less
