Dress for success
I have a child who loves salad. If fact, we often make whole meals out of salad topped with shrimp. My boy is happy when I add carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, and other sliced veggies on his salad, but if I even attempt to put a relatively healthy dressing on top he just about gags. He's a ranch dressing boy through and through. I'll keep offering him healthier choices, though. After all, if you're eating a salad why add unnecessary calories with an unhealthy dressing? There are plenty of better alternatives that are every bit as tasty. Eating Light has several yummy salad dressing recipes to try:
- This Creamy Blue Cheese Dressing has only 38 calories and 3 grams of fat per serving (2 tablespoons).
- Each 2 tablespoon serving of this Creamy Dill Ranch Dressing has only 19 calories and 1 gram of fat.
- Tangy Herb and Horseradish Dressing has 46 calories and 4 grams of fat in each 2 tablespoon serving.
- Orange-Oregano Dressing has 27 calories and 2 grams of fat per 2 tablespoon serving.
- Don't be deceived by the higher fat and calories in Roasted Garlic Dressing. Most of the 154 calories and 14 grams of fat (in a 2 tablespoon serving) come from olive oil -- a good source of beneficial monounsaturated fat.
- There are only 19 calories and 1 gram of fat in this Roasted Tomato Vinaigrette. Plus, the tomatoes give you a healthy dose of lycopene!
- This Asian-style Sesame Tamari Vinaigrette has 37 calories and 2 grams of fat per 2 tablespoon serving.
