| 708.2 | they replace the fat with sugar | TLE::DBANG::carroll | a woman full of fire | Fri Jan 03 1992 15:33 | 7 |
| Kraft Fat Free is actually LOADED with sugar.
Anyway, I use commercial dressings all the time, but it is expensive
and boring, which was why I was looking for recipes to make dressing
myself.

| Lately I've had a hankering for balsamic vinegar dressings.
I mix about 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, 1 Tbsp olive oil (I use
100% virgin, cold pressed oil to get maximum flavor per calorie),
and various spices as I feel like it (oregano, garlic, etc). I
also cut the vinegar with water and sometimes with a little wine
vinegar as a good strong balsamic's taste can be overpowering.
It's not non-fat, but that much dressing will fix about 4 or
5 salads for about 100 calories. And it's tasty, fast and cheap.

Which ones are really best for us ?
Thanks,
Ann

| Best in what sense?
Some are fat-free, some are simply reduced fat. A quick look at the
label will determine which are which.
Most of the reduced fat ones are cholesterol and saturated fat free,
and run 20-30 calories a Tablespoon. I count two Tablespoons as 1 Fat
in my meal program. (My favorites are Cains Light-Hearted Creamy
Cucumber Dill, Walden Farms Blue Cheese and Featherweight Creamy
Dijon.)
Most of the fat-free ones run about 5-25 calories/Tbs. (My favorites
are Weight Watchers Caeser and Pritikin Italian.)
Most of them have lots of chemicals and other icky stuff, in addition to
things some people want to avoid such as sugar and gelatin.
BTW, random tip: standard 35mm film cannisters hold just about 2 Tbs.
When I pack salads for lunch, I measure my dressings in to one of those
and then add it to the salad when I am ready to eat. I hate how
dressing makes a salad soggy if you put it on ahead of time.
Another random tip: for those who avoid sugar, like myself, Pritikin
makes a "Sweet and Spicy French Style" (or something like that)
dressing made with fruit juice and no fat which tastes remarkable like
Barbeque sauce!! Especially if you add a little pepper and
Tobasco...mmmm!

| 708.6 | Balsamic Vinegar | ESCROW::ROBERTS | | Thu Jan 16 1992 17:01 | 8 |
| I bought some Balsamic vinegar a little while ago, and it is the
*greatest* thing ever! I find that if I dress a salad with balsamic
vinegar and just a few drops of a good olive oil, it is *wonderful*.
It is also a good way to make tuna salad - water-packed tuna and just
the vinegar. It is expensive but really worth it. Besides, you don't
use all that much...

Uniquely tasty and a good texture for a no-oil dressing.

The Walden Farms Italian with Sun Dried Tomatoes is my absolute
favorite dressing. My husband won't let me buy any others.

| 708.11 | anyone know where to get Walden Blue Cheese? | GOLLY::CARROLL | the stillness shall be the dancing | Tue May 11 1993 18:02 | 5 |
| I used to love Walden low-fat (not fat free) blue cheese - it was
great! And now I can't find it anymore since they started selling that
Walden Free stuff which I can't eat.

Gee, I thought I saw some at Super Stop & Shop last week, buy
maybe it was fat free ?
I picked up some Marie's low fat Creamy Parmesan last week. It's
still 50% fat, but that can be worked into my plan.

Here's a recipe for yogurt dill dressing. A friend modified it
from a lowfat recipe in Gourmet magazine and it's just as good
the original.
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
3 tablespoons wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
9 tablespoons plain non-fat yogurt
2 teaspoons dill weed
In a small bowl, mix salt, sugar, pepper and vinegar with a fork or whisk.
Stir in mustard. Stir yogurt in a spoonful at a time. Fold in dill
weed.
