A little dab'll do ya!

Calories and fat grams can really add up on salad. Here are a few ways to reduce the amount of dressing you use. Enjoy the taste of the actual vegetables in your salad – don't obliterate them with the dressing.

Dilute salad dressing with a little bit of water and apply it with a small spray bottle.

Use your fork to drizzle salad dressing over your salad, instead of a spoon or pouring from the "on the side" cup or bottle.

At home, put your salad in a clean plastic produce bag (like the ones from the grocery store) and add 1 teaspoon of dressing per serving. Blow a little air in the bag if it's just for you, or "capture" a little air by grabbing the bag at the top. Twist it closed and shake the bag to distribute the dressing evenly.
