DRESS UP YOUR SALAD!

Are you sick of salads? Switch your dressing for a break from the same
old, same old. If you always reach for Ranch, go for Balsamic
Vinaigrette. If Blue Cheese is your favorite, try Honey Mustard or
Creamy Italian. Experiment with new flavor sensations by
taking a chance on one of many specialty dressings, such as Stonewall
Kitchen's Champagne Shallot Walnut Dressing or Annie's Naturals'
Organic Papaya Poppy Seed Dressing. Just remember to watch your fat
grams, as not all dressings are created equally. Some mayonnaise- and
oil-based salad dressings have as many as 30 grams of fat per
tablespoon, but don't automatically avoid those high-calorie options.
Instead, try the old dieter's trick of putting the dressing on the
side. Then slightly dip the prongs of your fork in it before you take
the next bite. You won't sacrifice the taste, and perhaps you'll
discover that eating your veggies isn't so bad after all.
