I make my own raspberry vinaigrette using:

Equal parts rice vinegar (or salad vinegar), olive oil, raspberry syrup and add a dash of poppy seeds. I purchased the raspberry syrup at an international market. It comes in a wine-size bottle, made by Zer Gut.

It's excellent over mixed greens with diced apple, bleu cheese, pecans, and dried cranberries.

This salad can get high in calories so be sure to measure the toppings.

I do!! Everybody likes them so much that on b-days or whatnots I've bottled them up an assortment. :happy:

I'm a WWer gal so there all pointed. But I will run them through my masterchef and give you the nutritional breakdown too.

I'll start with my all time fav!

CATALINA DRESSING
It makes a little more than a cup of dressing, and the entire cup comes out to about 5 points. So it is about a quarter of a point or half a point (0.25 or 0.5 points or less) per serving...depending on how much you use!

Ingredients
1/2 cup ketchup, plus 1 tablespoon ketchup
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup splenda or other sugar substitute
1/3 cup white vinegar
1 tablespoon plus 1 tsp olive oil
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon coarsely-ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon onion powder (I used about 1/2 tsp minced onion flakes)
1 pinch thyme

Directions
1. Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat.
2. Bring to a boil, whisking often, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes.
3. Cover the dressing until cool, then refrigerate it until well chilled.


I thought it was really good...give it a try if you want something zesty and a bit different! Let me know if you all like it!Instead, I found a bottle of BBQ sauce (Jack Daniel's Smokehouse BBQ) and I used that instead of the ketchup. It's AWESOME: the barbque sauce has less calories then the ketchup so its less points

I'm not sure how many point this equals - I think it's a 0 point dressing.

1 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/2c c. fat free or light milk
