Salads/Dressings

This salad dressing is nothing like your basic vinaigrette formula - but you'll soon want to use it nearly every day. The classic vinaigrette is made with 3 parts oil to 1 part vinegar. As you can see, this version has no oil in it at all, making it extremely low in calories. But don't worry - it's very high in flavor. Once you've tried this and our Creamy Salad Dressing, they're likely to become your basic everyday staples for salad. And you can never eat too much salad!
