Healthy sauce/dressing for salads and veg.

I make my own balsamic vinaigrette: finely chop about two teaspoons of Shallot, add it to a mixture of 4 Tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar and 1 Tablespoon canola oil, whisk in a half or quarter teaspoon of dijon mustard - the dijon will help emulsify the dressing so it doesn't separate. This will keep in the fridge for several days. Total calories is 170 , 32 calories per tablespoon. I've been using Kirkland Balsamic Vinegar, it's sweet...but only 10 calories per T. Canola is 120 per T.

My new favorite is Panera Bread Balsamic Viniagrette its low cal and low sodium but its expensive over $4 bottle.

My favorite is Bolthouse farms Yogurt Dressing - it's SO delicious (especially the honey mustard) and it's about 40 calories in 2 teaspoons and is all natural with no preservatives, and, well, try it out and see for yourself!!! it's a great healthy alternative =]

One of my favs also....Majority of the bolthouse farm dressings are delish, low cal. Some have a bit of sugar so something to watch out for.

This sounds fantastic! I can't wait to try it tomorrow. I, too, have had difficulty finding a dressing recipe without some kind of oil in it. Sometimes I water down my vinegar & oil mixture then add some lemon juice. It's tolerable.
