How do you make a fat free vinaigrette?

I joined Slimming world today and am looking for a way to dress salads that won't cost syns.

All I can find on the SW website is the words 'fat free vinaigrette' - which is what?

Every dressing I make contains oil so I'm cluess ...

I think the people who make low cal oil spray do a dressing too. I use balsamic vinegar a lot too. Not fat free but a little bit of oil and lemon juice with mustard etc wouldn't hurt

Thanks Jenda. I was wondering how a little oil could hurt?

Are you on SW?

A light balsamic vinegar works well on its own I've found. Or season/add balsamic to fat free yoghurt or qwark for a creamy texture.

Ooh yoghurt is a good idea. I'm not on Sw but about to start!

I don't know if it's against the SW rules as I haven't ever used them, but most greens and veggies are best eaten with a little fat. It makes the vitamins and minerals more bio available for the body (more readily absorbed)
Instead of avoiding it altogether, choose healthy days like olive/avocado/sesame oil with balsamic or apple cider vinegar and whatever herbs/spices take your fancy

Dijon mustard or mint sauce with yogurt and vinegar is a great alternative to oil.

Try chilli dipping sauce for a different dressing.

Soy sauce, balsamic vinegar and a touch of sweetness such as honey or maple syrup is also lovely!
