I’ve always been a dipper.  That has made it a lot easier for me to cut down the dressing calories. 

    8.  slim down your salads - Too much dressing, cheese, or croutons can add up to a lot of calories and fat.  To make sure your salad is healthy, reduce the oil in your dressings or use low-fat buttermilk as a base.  Toss salad ingredients with just enough dressing to coat, and cut down on the croutons and cheese.

I don’t like it when my salad floats on the plate, instead I add on the flavor with pickled beets, peas and garbonzo’s.  Even a little cracked pepper adds some zing, but don’t settle for pre-ground pepper again, buy the thumb-operated salt and pepper grinder from surlatable.com that easily goes where you go!
