Adding Less Dressing to Your Salad

RE: Adding Less Dressing to Your Salad Post by wordswork (70) | (11/03/2006) Contact Love these tips, ladies. Thanks! Low-fat dressings are better tasting all the time and hey, here's my little tip. Pour a tablespoon of dressing into a small bowl, add a tablespoon of spiced vinegar (or even lemon juice), stir and add to salad. Nice and light-tasting, a bit spicy, delicious. Here's my vinegar recipe, if you'd like to try it. Chili Vinegar (a nice gift for those hard-to-buy-for people) 4 dried bay leaves 6 dried hot red chilli peppers or 3 fresh habaneros peppers, cleaned, quartered, seeds removed 4 garlic cloves, cut in half red wine vinegar or plain white vinegar Place bay leaves, peppers and garlic into a tall bottle (a large empty wine bottles is good). Fill the bottle with vinegar. Cork the bottle and let stand at least 3 weeks in a cool, dark place to allow the flavour to develop. Decant into smaller bottles and provide instructions for use (as follows). Mix with store-bought salad dressings about one-to-one. Lightens the dressing and spices it up at the same time. Cheers, Rose Anne RE: Adding Less Dressing to Your Salad Post By terryr (Guest Post) (11/03/2006) I have been bringing my salad to work in a gallon size plastic bag. At lunch time I add a tablespoon or so of my dressing and seal up the bag and shake!!! This distributes the dressing and saves the calories of too much dressing!!
