in Food and Nutrition
I work in a restaurant and for lunch I have to eat there today. We don't have nutritional facts on our food.

For lunch I was going to eat romaine lettuce with a chopped black bean ( I am bringing from home) but I was going to use our restaurant salads dressing. We have balsamic vinaigrette in a bottle and tomato basil vinaigrette that we make ourselves. I always thought balsamic vinaigrette was healthy for you-but when I put it in my food dairy it was like 60 cals and 280 sodium! And the TBV is 30 cals and 230 sodium. SO my question is what do my fellow MFP's know about these two dressings? Is one better than the other? The only thing I worry about is since we make the dressing, I am worried it is worse for you.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

    We actually don't make the TB dressing...It comes from a bottle. Look in the walk-in for the bottle and it prob has the nutrtional info on it

    I'd go with the dressing you like most. If you like it, you'll find the meal more satisfying. Tomato basil sounds pretty tasty to me ;-). Just put whatever you choose on the side and dip your fork into the dressing before the salad.
