This is another 5 Toque recipe for me! One thing that helps me to stay on track with my eating plan is to have flavorful foods -- bland bores me! This dressing recipe tastes great (very garlicy so be aware of that if you have an important meeting after you eat this). I will cut back on the salt next time I make it -- I don't think it needs as much. I'm also going to try using sour cream instead of mayo for the base -- that would taste good too. I used a freeze-dried Italian Season mix and that added a bit more texture. If you are an Atkins dieter, this recipe is good for all phases.
