Light done Right? Not quite!

Salad dressing is just one of those things that *they* can't get right making a lower fat version. I prefer the low fat version of most things, but salad dressing is just gross. I'm going to be honest here. Normally, I'm an advocate for lower fat/calorie items, but they just can't do light right. Kraft has the "light done right" salad dressings, and Wishbone as the "Just 2 good" ones. Sorry. Just 2 gross for me.

I love salad. If I had to pick one meal I would have for the rest of my life (prepared differently of course), I would pick salad. I know it doesn't have a ton of nutritional value, but it's certainly not bad for me, and I enjoy it, so I eat it! Often. I usually have grilled chicken salad. The place I order from puts on way too much chicken, and not enough lettuce and cukes. I think next time I order I'll ask for half the chicken and double the veggies. I digress.

I don't mind the salad dressing sprays. Those are great and very low cal. I'm all for those because even if you don't get the light ones, if you only use 30 sprays for one salad, it's only 30 calories. You can't go wrong. Every once in a while, though, I have a craving for ranch dressing, and I end up eating the full fat version. It's like 150 calories for one serving. What a waste, but I suppose if you're eating 400 calories per day, it's not that bad in the grand scheme of things. It's certainly a waste of calories, and I don't like to waste calories.

This morning I had a grilled chicken salad for breakfast, and I used Ken's light Ranch. It was gross. I would have rather had the salad plain.
