Dressing Alternatives:
- Avocado- Sliced, diced or mashed - avocadoes are a delicious salad topper AND they’re also packed with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, which keep you full longer, aid in digestion, and keep blood sugar from spiking so you don’t suffer a snack attack soon after eating.
- Citrus - Keep it simple they say – try squeezing a fresh orange or tangerine over your next salad. Not only do they offer a natural sweetness, citrus is high in potassium and vitamin C to help strengthen immunity.
- Fruit Purée - Try blending a handful of sweet strawberries, mango or tart raspberries for their natural sweetness and amazing antioxidant-powers.
- Fresh Salsa - Try adding a gracious dollop on top of chicken or fish and mixed greens, it’s like eating a taco without the shell.
- Greek Yogurt - Sounds weird, I know but substituting plain Greek yogurt in your dressing allows you to skip the extra fat, sugar, and calories found in most creamy salad dressings, but you keep the rich flavor! PLUS you get the added benefit of extra protein, calcium, potassium, vitamins B6/B12, zinc, and beneficial probiotic cultures. Try it mixed with fresh garlic, lemon, and dill or chives.
- Flavored Oil - You can purchase flavored oils at most grocery stores, but you can just as easily make your own and save money! Place extra-virgin olive oil in a glass container and add in your choice of fresh lime, herbs (i.e., rosemary, sage), garlic, sundried tomatoes or anything else you can dream up!
