Potassium in salad dressing...?

What type of salad dressings can you recommend that are LOW in Potassium ?

Thanks for your question.  Most dressings aren't high in potssium- it's the produce in the salad that has potassium.

Green leafy vegetables and dark orange fruit/vegs are high in potassium as are bananas, kiwi, dried beans, yogurt, dried fruit.  Tomatoes, bran cereal, broccoli and melon are also sources of potassium.  Most people don't suffer from potassium deficiency and supplements are never recommended (i.e. to buy over the counter and take willy nilly).  You should only take additioanl potassium if prescribed by your doctor.
