Food dislikes-as guest, but will politely eat

If you don't have the above, how do you have your salads flavoured?

I'm surprised that you'd be the one to ask that question Shootingstar, because vegetables, including salad vegetables, actually taste good.

Two of the things I'm allergic to are yeast and corn, and that means that when I'm being strict about my diet (rare these days), I can't trust any salad dressing I don't make myself (vinegar, corn oil, corn sugar).

Eating salads with no dressing for 3-4 months when I was first diagnosed and learning to manage my food allergies, really taught me to appreciate the flavors of foods. Most of the time now I do indulge in salad dressing, but a teaspoonful is more than enough for a large salad bowl. As an acquaintance of my father's once said, "Dressing is to flavor the vegetables, not to water them."
