It is nearly impossible to find vinegar free, sugar free salad dressing in the supermarket. Additionally, most brands are filled with preservatives. The only brand of commercially available salad dressing that I have found is okay for the candida diet is Annie’s Naturals Dressing Lemon & Chive, Vinegar Free 8 oz. Before I discovered this brand I made my own salad dressing. Fortunately, my first candida diet cookbook was The Candida Control Cookbook: What You Should Know and What You Should Eat to Manage Yeast Infections (New Revised & Updated Edition) by Gail Burton and there are several great salad dressing recipes in this cookbook. Burton’s Yeast Free Basil and Garlic Salad Dressing recipe is one of the easiest to put together. This dressing is great with leafy green salads.
Yeast Free Basil and Garlic Salad Oil Ingredients
1 cup olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice (Use fresh lemon juice from lemons rather than the bottle type which has additives)
4 cloves garlic, chopped
6 Basil Leaves
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Yeast Free Basil and Garlic Salad Oil Directions
Combine all ingredients in a salad dressing cruet
Cover and refrigerate
Refrigerate dressing for at least a day to allow flavors to blend

You are my first stop on finding yeast free recipes…thank you…I went to my naturopath Monday…I have Candida and leaky gut…I also had the ELISA/ACT blood work results to see what foods of 96 I am sensitive to….eggs and egg whites were one…this is a new path I am on and trying to keep it so simple right now..I also have chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia..last year I was given Levaquin (antiobiotic) and have now been experiencing tendon tears….I know it will get better…finally I have hope after going to the naturopath…
I will be back to visit, I am sure

I found a “Creamy Avocado” dressing recipe that, I believe, is friendly to this diet, just in case you’re interested. I got it from http://www.bigoven.com/recipe/171364/creamy-avocado-dressing :
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
3 cloves garlic
6 tablespoons of fresh cilantro leaves
1 large Avocado
1/2 medium cucumber seeds removed and cut into chunks
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 salt and pepper to taste
Purée olive oil and garlic together until smooth. Next add cilantro, avocado, cucumber, lemon juice and pulse until smooth. Salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy.
