Answer 2

I don't know who told you that but it's not true.  Go ahead and eat them.  If not, just put vinegar and oil on your salad.

Answer 3

I make a honey mustard dressing that is really good. I use prepared mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar and salad oil. It's easy and delicious. Actually the amount of artificial sweetener in bottled dressings are not enough to hurt you (if they actually hurt you, I don't believe they do). If you like garlic you could mix oil, vinegar and a couple cloves of garlic together for a good dressing.
