You can use oil as a base (olive oil, sesame oil, etc.) and add herbs and spices. You can also add lemon juice. see Salads and Salad Dressings for ideas.
Hola. Comprueba los ingredientes para estar seguro. La mayoría de los aderezos de mostaza contendrán vinagre y posiblemente azúcar, los cuales no forman parte del ayuno.

Hi this is my first time doing any fasting with food but I am doing the Daniel fast but i just found your website thank you I am on day 4 almost over I am so hungry from time to time what is the best way to handle this?
Any advice is greatly appreciated:)
Well, you’re probably finished with your fast by now, so I apologize for the delay in responding. I just saw your message today. I’d say the best thing is to eat snacks to help with the hunger, especially in the first week as your body adjusts.

Would the Chickfila creamy salsa ranch be acceptable?
Hi, Allison! Great question. Regular pesto, which is made with Parmesan cheese, isn’t part of the fast. BUT, you can try to make a Daniel Fast friendly version: Pesto. It’s not the same, I’ll agree, but it does the trick when you’re on the fast. 🙂

good afternoon, my name is Monica and this is my first time doing the Daniel Fast, and I failed big time, I ate what I wasn’t suppose to before I knew it, can I start over or should I just ask for forgiveness?
Hi, Monica. First, I want to say congratulations on doing your first Daniel Fast. That’s great! Second, you haven’t failed at all. I don’t believe God sees it that way. You had a misstep, and it sounds like you didn’t even do it intentionally. You don’t need to start over. Just talk to the Lord about it and keep going! He knows your heart and will show grace. Don’t let Satan convince you that you messed up because you haven’t. The Lord is still working, and your fast is making a difference!
The only wraps that are Daniel Fast friendly are corn tortillas, brown rice tortillas, or some other whole-grain tortilla. Check the spinach wrap ingredients to be sure. Most likely, it has wheat flour (not whole wheat) and possibly other ingredients that aren’t part of the Daniel Fast. Good question, though!
Welcome, Julie! You will find a variety of resources for the Daniel Fast. Let me know if you have any questions. Many common questions are answered on my FAQs page.
As a suggestion, I was Googling for sunflower seed vegan salad dressing recipes and found a bunch that are Daniel Fast friendly. Apparently, when soaked and blended, sunflower seeds mimic some of the creaminess of dairy.
Hi, Kayla! You can have Italian dressing as long as you can find one that’s Daniel Fast friendly. Also, another idea is to use olive oil with lemon juice and herbs. It’s quick and easy!

I have a Neumann balsamic vinegeratte. Would I be able to use it? Or is there a recipe for that particular kind?
Hi, Nita! Great question. A vinaigrette isn’t part of the fast because of the vinegar. See #8 under “Food” on my FAQs pagefor explanation. Also, the dressing contains sugar. 🙁
Wonderful! Thank you for your response Happy New Year

This recipes look delicious and very easy to follow. I started my Daniel Fast last week and was almost discourage to continue because I did not know what to eat, but finding this website has been such a blessing. Thank you so much!
I was also wondering if you could eat GF wraps and what brands are Daniel Fast friendly. I was eating them last week, but not sure whether to continue or not during my fast.
Hi, Ana! I’m so glad you found my website. 🙂 As far as the gluten-free wraps, the best one I’ve had is Food for Life Brown Rice Tortillas. But, the product does contain xanthan gum, so it depends upon how strict you want to be with the fast guidelines.
This is great, thank you so much! I actually saw it at my local organic supermarket, but got confused with all the different products. This one has much less ingredients than other ones I have tried, but will still not sure what ingredients are Daniel fast friendly.
I found a healthy choice power dressing creamy italian. Ingredients water cauliflower puree, chicory root fiber (inulun) distilled vinegar sunflower oil less than 2% salt corn starch dried tomtaoes garlic powder xanthan gum basil onion powder spice oregano potassim sorbate and sodium benzoate and calcium disodium edta. Can I use this salad dressing for Daniel fast?
Hi! Whether or not to use the dressing is a personal choice. It does contain vinegar, which isn’t part of the fast (see #8 under “Food” on my FAQs page). It may be a healthier choice for dressing, but it also contains additives and preservatives.

Hi, can i have add cesar dressing to my salad? also, do i have to wait until sunset to eat?
Hi, Britt! Great question. Since Caesar salad contains ingredients that aren’t part of the Daniel Fast (ex. egg and cheese), it’s not allowed. Also, see my Salads/Salad Dressings page for options. For the answer about your eating schedule, see #14 under “Food” on my FAQs page. I hope this information is helpful. Let me know if you have other questions.
Hi! Great question. Unfortunately, since croutons are made from bread, which contains yeast, they’re not part of the fast. However, if you make them yourself (instead of using store-bought) AND use flatbread (no yeast) AND bake them, then, yes, they’re fine. 🙂

Hi my name is Doug and I would like know what is a good breakfast menu for the daniel fast
Some store-bought veggie burgers are better quality (and more nutritious) than others. Yes, you can have them, but I encourage you to find ones with the least amount of ingredients. Also, check to make sure all the ingredients are Daniel Fast friendly. Also, you can make your own veggie burger: Chipotle Black Bean Burger, Taco Burger, and Two-Bean Burger.

Can I have oil and vinegar salad dressing for my salad
Hi, Kristy! Following is my response about vinegar on my FAQs page: “The process of creating vinegar involves fermentation, and the oxidation of ethanol produces an alcohol-containing liquid. However, one particular vinegar, apple cider vinegar, has many nutritional benefits, so some people may choose to include it on their fast. The idea of the fast is to deny yourself as an act of worship to the Lord. We don’t want to be so legalistic about every single thing that we put into our mouths that we miss the whole point of the Daniel Fast, so I would encourage you to seek the Lord for direction. Note: Fresh lemon juice is a good substitute for vinegar!”
However, just recently I’ve learned balsamic vinegar isn’t produced with alcohol, only grapes (I wasn’t aware of that fact). I’d always believed it to fall in the same category as other vinegar. So, yes, I believe balsamic vinegar is fine to use on the fast. Now, I just need to revise my vinegar statement on my FAQs page. 🙂

Hello, can i used thousand island dressing to my salad? I’m on daniel fast this week.
Hi! It all depends upon the ingredients. You’ll need to check to make sure it’s Daniel Fast friendly. Most likely, it’s not, especially since most Thousand Island dressings contain mayonnaise and vinegar, both of which are not a part of the fast. Let me know if you have other questions. May God bless you abundantly as you seek him through prayer and fasting!
Hi! Thanks so much for your question. Unfortunately, Caesar dressing isn’t part of the Daniel Fast because it contains ingredients that aren’t within the food guidelines (egg and Parmesan). Thanks for your question!
Yes, if the dressing is Daniel Fast friendly. Most store-bought dressings will contain at least one ingredient that’s not allowed. I recommend making your own. You can whip up a simple Italian salad dressing in minutes. You can find recipe ideas here (scroll to bottom of page). I hope this information helps!

Hey I’m a college student who is doing this fast and can’t really afford alot of things to make my own food. Are there any store bought dressings you would recommend for salad?
Hi, Noah! I remember what it was like to be a poor college student. 🙂 One of the cheapest Daniel Fast dressings is just using fresh lemon juice and drizzling a little olive oil over your salad. Finding a store-bought dressing that’s Daniel Fast friendly is a challenge. Most items contain at least one ingredient that isn’t allowed. Did you see my recipe for Italian Salad Dressing? It’s not pricey at all. I hope this information helps. May God bless you as you seek him on your fast!
Thank you, I just watched the video it made me feel better. I haven’t totally had things that aren’t Daniel, Friendly but I also don’t have all of the foods ok n hand for Daniel.
Ok, good. Let me know if you have any other questions! Also, just do the best you can. God is more interested in our pursuit of him through prayer than if we eat perfectly. 🙂

Can I take apple cider vinegar supplements and turmeric supplements
Tina, thanks for your question. Taking supplements is really a matter of personal conviction. If doing so violates your conscience, then I wouldn’t recommend it. Many people do choose to take supplements, and that’s fine. It’s up to you.

Can I still take daily apple cider vinegar during Daniel fast?
