Dressings, Dips, Condiments, etc.

I have been looking around and can't really find any answer to my question.
What is allowed as far as dressings (salad, mainly), dips and condiments?
I read somewhere mustard is okay? in moderation because of sodium. is that correct?

As far as a crunchy salty snack.... is a pickle okay to have? Obviously not the whole jar, lol but maybe one or two on veggie days?

Thank you so much!

Dear Kylie,

congratulations to your weight loss so far:)

You may have up to 1 tablespoon olive oil and up to 1 tablespoon vinegar per day.

This is together with low sodium seasoning and herbs a great base for a salad dressing. If you don't need all the oil you may use part of it to saute vegetables or even to enhance your cabbage soup.

1-2 small pickles as allowed cheat on the vegetable days are a great motivator and shouldn't harm your weight loss.

Another allowed cheat is 1 teaspoon of mustard per vegetable day.

All the best,

Gabriela
