This salad dressing is nothing like your basic vinaigrette formula — but you'll soon want to use it nearly every day. The classic vinaigrette is made with 3 parts oil to 1 part vinegar. As you can see, this version has no oil in it at all, making it extremely low in calories. But don't worry — it's very high in flavor. Once you've tried this I'm sure it'll become your basic everyday staple for salad. And you can never eat too much salad!

Ingredients:
1/4 cup apple juice
1/4 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried whole oregano
Pinches of rosemary and thyme
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 of a roasted red bell pepper



Instructions:
Combine all ingredients in a blender container. Blend to mix thoroughly. Nutritional Information:

    I'm going to try this....I love oil/vinegar dressings, but haven't used them for a while due to the oil.

    Thanks!!

    Would I be a cannibal if I made yellow pepper vinaigrette? :wink:

    One thing to note: you do need to keep this in the refrigerator! Unlike oil, apple juice should be refrigerated once it is in an "unsealed" container. And the fresh vegetables also do better cold.
