Oh my goodness, oh my goodness!
I grew up in a ranch dressing kind of family. When I started eating healthy I knew that ranch - even light ranch (and I'm not even going to mention fat-free) - wasn't going to be a contender for salad dressing in our home. I started eating my salads with straight balsamic vinegar because I knew store-bought dressings are loaded with sugar and unhealthiness. The problem with the balsamic vinegar was that it wasn't all that tasty by itself, so I ended up adding feta to all of my salads - kinda defeated the point of the healthy dressing. Then I dabbled in making my own vinegar/oil concoctions, but nothing stood out as amazing to me. I stopped eating salads at home.
Then, last Monday, we went to dinner at some friends' house and they had this:

It is SO good and only 45 calories per 2T! Let me tell ya - 2T doesn't sound like a lot, but it is! This stuff stretches pretty far. Anyway, I had it on Monday and literally made an extra trip to the store on Tuesday to pick up my own bottle. ...and it's about halfway gone today. Part of that is because I was challenged this week to eat at least 5 vegetables/day so I've been eating a lot more veggies, and part of it is because I love this stuff! Seriously, you have to try it!
And now I will step down from my soapbox...
