Love salads but the prices for store bought dressings are kind of pricey.

What type of diabetes is this? I have type one and any dressing is okay (except for the fact that I am allergic to wheat and need to keep that out).
One thing that I have made and love is using oil and vinegar and using natural, homegrown herbs or all kinds. This is one that doesn't affect blood sugars and you can flavor as wanted. You can also use things like Ms Dash for flavoring (Italian blend, onion medley, etc).
I also have used fresh lemon on my salads. I know this sounds odd, but I just squeeze a little fresh lemon on top of the salad greens and it adds a unique taste.
Hope this is of some help.

I am a type 2 and I haven't found where dressings are a problem. However, Good Seasons makes a dressing mix that you add to oil and vinegar and it's quite reasonable. Otherwise, just use oil and vinegar with some garlic powder, pepper, and other spices to taste.

I make my own. I use 10mls of extra virgin olive oil and 10mls of flavoured vinegar (my favourite is white wine but I vary it). I add a little pepper (used to add salt but not allowed that any more since my kidneys started failing) and herbs to taste. I crush 1 clove of garlic in it too. Put the whole lot into a glass container with a tight lid and shake really well, serve immediately

try something low glycemic like ranch dressing just a little goes a long way and it won't raise your blood sugar watch out for corn syrup that appears in most salad dressing
