FAT-FREE BLUEBERRY AND ROASTED PEPPER DRESSING
Use this over any combination of vegetable/fruit salads. The red roasted pepper and blueberry – vegetable and fruit combo – allow for a wider range of uses. Rich-tasting almost animal-like as bad as that sounds, but as long as humans continue to eat animals, I’ll have no choice but to make mention of it – it tastes like there’s animal in it. I should know – I was an animal-eater a large part of my life. There’s no suffering here though. If God had made animals without nervous systems, they’d be plants. That’s how the world treats these precious creatures – like plants. Not here we don’t.
Makes 6-3/4 cups

Makes 4-1/2 cups
ROOT BEER DRESSING SAUCE
Barq’s Root Beer and Canada Dry diet Ginger Ale mixed with cocoa, dark brown sugar, Balsamic vinegar, coriander and allspice! Different but Delicious! Serve over salad, fresh sliced fruit (I like banana) or as a dipping sauce for veggie chicken nuggets! How about all three? That’ll put a smile on your Fat-Free Animal-Free Friday!
Makes 4-1/2 cups
PINK CHIFFON FAT-FREE SALAD DRESSING
Welcome to the new face of dressings. Not your ordinary look, taste or feel. This is a dressing that highlights and enhances wherever it is used. Neither the taste nor the texture, however, is as guilty as it looks! Experience its innocence! We’re not chopping down trees here, we’re just picking the ripe fruit!
Makes almost 3 cups

This is how I extend the more expensive bottled salad dressings, while reducing the fat on my green salads.
Follow Your Heart makes good vegan Caesar and vegan Bleu Cheese salad dressings. Steve and I both like them.
What I do is drizzle half of one or the other onto my green salad, then add a fat-free creamy dressing – Kraft Fat Free Thousand Island works well here. I reduce cost and fat.
Steve will drizzle Catalina or Russian as the main dressing, then drizzle a little creamy Caesar or Bleu on top of his green salads.
FAT-FREE POTATO SALAD
Potatoes, peas, celery, onion, roasted and green chili peppers tossed with Silken tofu, grain mustard, herbs and spices. Surprise ingredient? Fresh and dry mint!
Makes 8 cups
RED MISO BALSAMIC SALAD DRESSING
A concentrated salad dressing that focuses more on taste sensations rather than individual flavors. Fat-Free!
Makes about 3 cups
SAVORY FRUIT DRESSING
Zing is how I describe the way this savory fruit dressing sings! Although it was designed for green leaf salads, I see no reason why it wouldn’t work with fruit salads. In that instance, you may want to add a little more sweet. It’s up to you – as always! Low fat!
Makes 5 cups
SPINACH TOMATO LINGUINI BOWL
Cooked linguini mixed with fresh spinach, tomatoes, sweet onion, Kalamata olives, sweet mini peppers, and carrot ribbons. Tossed with a reduced fat Herb and Spice Vinaigrette! Mostly raw!
Makes 16 cups
Well, I do like salad, especially when it’s one of Steve’s all u can eats!

chopped hearts of romaine lettuce
tomatoes
orange wedges
sliced sweet onion
sliced radishes

All good!
VEG HAM AND EGG SALAD
Essentially fat-free salad or sandwich spread. Tastes like ham and egg. Also tastes great all by itself. If you want to add a little fat, then a couple tablespoons of veg mayo will work nicely. But we’re trimming the fat, so it really isn’t necessary to enjoy!
Makes 5-1/3 cups
DARK HORSE RUSSIAN DRESSING
Complex, exquisite. Full-bodied. Smoky with cranberry, cocoa, red wine and orange undertones. This salad dressing is like a fine wine. Serve for special occasions! Low-Fat!
Makes about 2-3/4 cups
APPLE CARROT SALAD
Some fresh ginger sticks, a few walnuts, some fresh spinach and a fat-free dressing created a nice lunch combined with the apple and carrot cut into tiny julienne style pieces. Fresh, succulent plus an attractive presentation! The addition of the walnuts makes this lunch salad mostly fat-free!
Serves 2
TOMATO ONION SALAD DRESSING
Just a tiny bit of oil brings the pureed solids to a happy place for the palate! The olive juice, ground fennel and liquid smoke help bring out the richness of the tomato, while the onion and garlic create a surprisingly fresh flavor quality, making one think it’s a fresh tomato dressing! Use over green salads.
Makes 1-3/4 cups
GOLDEN CAESAR SALAD
Now get ready for something different, okay? We’re going beyond the fat, which means there is a world out there that hasn’t been seen yet – not by me anyway – and judging by all I’ve read, not by anybody else either. So get ready to be wowed. Don’t be looking for the old Caesar here. It’s gone. But when it left, look what opened up!
Serves 2 for me (yes, I ate 2 servings – so good, couldn’t help myself!)
GOLDEN CAESAR SALAD DRESSING
Not too thick, not too thin, dresses greens very well. New flavors, new textures. All different, all good. We’re going beyond the fat and discovering an equally worthy way to enjoy our salads! Caesar would be proud! Low-fat!
Makes 2-1/3 cups
CUCUMBER ANTIPASTO SALAD
You don’t need olive oil in this antipasto salad. The flavors and textures stand alone. Refreshing and satisfying!
makes a little more than 2 cups
