Why Can Vinaigrette Be High In Syns?

It can be confusing to find salad vinaigrettes that are high in syns, some have up to 5 syns a tablespoon, this is mostly due to the oil content and sugar inside which increases the calories. For creamy salad dressings, syns come from ingredients such as milk, cheese and egg yolk.

You should also be careful about how much vinaigrette you are using in your salad and measure out via tablespoon, this is because it can be easy to go over your syns if you are just drizzling it on.
