Guest guest Posted June 23, 2006 Report Posted June 23, 2006 My daughter (we are very new to this diet) loved salads. They used to be a huge part of her diet. Now, we are confused on the dressings. Her favorite was Kraft Catalina free but it uses vinegar. She is upset because she really doesn't like anything else but italian and that of course has vinegar. I am at a loss.

That said, homemade dressing is far superior to the over processed stuff you buy at the store. I like mixing olive oil, balsamic, prepared mustard (or powder), thyme, and cracked red pepper to make a lovely vinaigrette. ygg Quote

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2006 Report Posted June 23, 2006 I thought distilled white vinegar was a no-no though....

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2006 Report Posted June 23, 2006 Only malt vinegar is off limits, and some " flavored " varieties are also NOT GF. I'm pretty sure Kraft Catalina is OK. We use the " free " version and it is GF. Kraft labels well - you don't have to worry about them hiding the gluten. Sue in Denver > > > My daughter (we are very new to this diet) loved salads.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2006 Report Posted June 24, 2006 Hi Zanna, Distilled white vinegar used to be on the no-no list. Then they decided that Heinz brand was gluten free. Then the information was that because the vinegar is distilled, all gluten is left behind. The only vinegars that we have to worry about now are the malt vinegars, and vinegars that have things added in after the distillation process. My 15 year celiac daughter loves Kraft Catalina and eats it often. .. Quote

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2006 Report Posted June 24, 2006 Hi everyone - I use Wishbone dressings, have never had a problem. Any vinegar is fine for us except for Malt Vinegar, which can be (probably is) made from barley malt, and also is not distilled. So avoid malt vinegar, but don't worry about other vinegars. Kraft is very good about labelling, so if they don't mention wheat on the label their product is wheat-free. Of course, you still have to think about barley, rye and oats, but in salad dressing? Not likely. There are lots of g-f slad dressings, too. Annie's, Newman's Own, Trader Joe's, Litehouse, etc. If you are unsure, call the manufacturer. Happy sald eating! Barbara in So Cal.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2006 Report Posted June 24, 2006 I am almost positive Kraft Catalina is okay. On that note, any of Kraft's dressings that are not gf will be clearly labeled in parenthesis. Your daughter can still enjoy her favorite dressing! Quote
