this is simple, light and yummy- cut up lettuce tomato, cucumber, pepper... and pour over it a little lemon juice, salt and pepper (can even add a little olive oil)

What do you mean by dietetic? I assume no fat, but do you also mean no sugar?

I'm pretty sure you can just sub the oil with water in this recipe. But yea, it has sugar.

Sweeteners are not a problem.

Sweeteners are not a problem. | Uh, sugar is a sweetener. Honey is a sweetener. Splenda is a sweetener.
Whatever sweetener you will use, you can put in that french dressing.
You can mix soy sauce, vinegar, scallions, and ginger to make a dressing.
You can make a ketchup like sauce with tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, garlic powder and salt.

maybe it's the different way of understanding the words - for me sugar is sugar and sweetener is artificial sweetener - sorry if I misled you
thanks for the suggestions

thanks for the suggestions | Sweetener means something that makes it sweet. I dont use white sugar but will use apple juice concentrate or honey or maple syrup or molasses, but won't use splenda or anything artificial. Will you use any of the above, or just chemical sweeteners?

I'm on a strict diet and all of these are unfortunately not allowed so the only thing I can think of to sweeten anything is artificial sweetener. I'm also not particularly happy to use it (I normally use silan) but for want of something to sweeten dressings that's what I think is available. Of course I'm happy to use a dressing that isn't necessarily sweet but then it has to be without oil.
It's so much easier to be fat and happy!

Artificial sweeteners actually slow down your metabolism, making you gain weight or at least not lose as many.
Because everyone's definition of dietetic is different, can you share what you will and won't eat, so that we can work with what you can?

You can make a mayonnaise with tofu, something like this-
http://www.food.com/recipe/tof.....e-754
Use an artificial sweetener instead of the sugar or leave out entirely, and sub the water with oil. Then you can use this mayonnaise as a base for lots of different salad dressings that would usually have fat in it. You can make a mayo and mustard dressing, you can mix with the homemade ketchup I described above to get russian dressing, to name two.

The program I'm following allows me to use only spray oil (it doesn't work in salad dressings - I've tried it) and no sugar, only artificial sweetener.
