The Salad Dressing Solution

I have made a fantastic discovery! I like salad, right? The problem is that most salad dressings have stupid amounts of fat and calories. Sometimes I like the whole oil and vinegar routine, but other times I want a little more flavor. When you add dressing, you have to cut out some of the other good tasting incidentals in your salad, like cheese and cranberries. All those calories tend to add up. What's a person to do?

Enter: BBQ Sauce! I had some lettuce and some chicken. I added some BBQ sauce and voila! Good eats. I highly recommend using BBQ sauce for your salads. Depending on what kind you use, you could easily cut 100 calories and lots of fat as well. While there may be a fair amount of salt and sugar in BBQ sauce, if you aren't using the whole bottle, it's really not so bad. If you're worried about it though, I suggest looking for a sauce with a vinegar base - like an East Carolina Style. If you pick a sauce you already like, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
