Try It Bite #7



Newman's Own: knowing that proceeds
 help someone other than myself makes
my salad taste better, but they also
use great ingredients

Salads are supposed to be healthy, but when you add buckets of salad dressing that contain more calories than a hamburger, the health of the vegetables gets lost in the fat content of the dressing, so throw out your Ranch, Blue Cheese, and 1,000 Island in favor of an oil and vinegar based salad dressing....but you have to look at your bottle before you buy.
When purchased, these dressings contain just as many calories as those listed above, and some people avoid them because they complain that they are too oily, but in one move, you can make your dressing healthier and tastier.  Select a dressing where the oil is separated and sitting on top of the other elements of the dressing (e.g. vinegar, spices, water, etc.) and pour off 75-80% of the oil and save it for cooking.  Thus you have created a dressing with a sharper taste and cut calories.
