Olive oil and applecider vinegar.

[Guest guest]

Ok, I bought both of these things. I know it's gonna be a taste

thing but would a good starting point be half and half?

I see that olive oil is a whopping 14 grams of fat and 120 calories

for only one tablespoon. I can't imagine one should afford to have

much more fat than that for one particular meal. So if I go half and

half that would mean I'm only using a total of 2 tablespoons of

dressing for a huge salad. Is this about what you folks do? I can't

imagine.

True! I don't use olive oil everyday, but when I do...usually I use a tablespoon (at the very most) and mix with a good quality Balsamic Vinegar or Rice Vinegar. Mostly I just use the vinegar. You can add some of that roasted garlic you have now made or some sun dried tomatoes. Use a salt substitute like Spike or Mrs. Dash's to liven up the salad or perhaps some raisins or dates for a touch of sweet. Experiment ~ you will find stuff that works for you! Someone in the group was working on a CRON cookbook...I should really get in on that! Dave

Try the fruit vinegars. I bought some blueberry vinegar once on a

trip to Seattle that was fabulous - ended up ordering a case and

giving away some of it as presents. I've since lost track of it.

There's a raspberry vinegar I use now that is also exceedingly good.

The calorie count is higher than regular vinegar, i.e. greater than

zero, but it takes such a small amount and is still so much lower

than oil. It works well on either straight greens, mixed green salad

or fruit salad.
