Salad "dressing" ideas while on Opti
On day 10 of Opti, and other than the shakes I have only had broth and celery and have been pretty good with that. Today, I want a salad (using of course only the approved veggies). Can I have fat free commercially-made salad dressing, or is balsamic vinegar the only option? Thanks for help/suggestions.
PS - I am going through Humber.

Nope. I was through HRRH as well as a friend this past October. No lettuce, only the veggies listed, no dressings either.
Your almost there!! Keep it going.

If you still have your paper work check it because I'm threw Humber as well and unless something changed. You were allowed vinegar on your veggies only vinegar unfortunately. I ate it and enjoyed it. I also found pickles that just had vinegar, cucumber, and spices in the ingredients and I ate them. You did mention you were only going to use the approved veggies for your salad so I really don't see a problem. Another thing that I did was make soup with beef broth, red pepper, and celery. It was so yummy I ate it for dinner while my family ate so I wasn't left out. All The best in your journey.
