Wishbone Light Dressings are Great

I’m not a huge fan of a lot of the creamy light dressings that are out there, but I refuse to dump dressing on my salad that makes it just about as bad for me as eating a cheeseburger and french fries, which pretty much relegates me to finding a suitable, tasty dressing for my salads and side salads when I’m eating lunch or dinner.  I have salads on and off. I don’t eat them every night with dinner, but I often will eat a side salad with dinner for a few months, then not touch a salad with dinner for months and instead opt for extra veggies on my plate.

Something about salads I guess I just get burnt out on after a while.  Plus, living in Ohio, it’s not exactly like I get the best veggies to put on them in the dead of winter. The tomatoes taste like sawdust and the cucumbers are pretty much flavorless as well. The only veggie I can count on tasting good always is the red onion that we so generously pour on the salads.

We’re on a salad with dinner jag again, and at the grocery store, I found these Wishbone light dressings that I didn’t think I had tried yet. I really like the Wishbone dressings normally, so I figured these were a good bet.  I was right, they’re great.  I got the ranch one and the house french, which is a lighter colored, creamier version of normal french dressing. Both are around 60-70 calories per serving and much lower in fat than their non-light counterparts, so that’s a pretty good concession for such great taste.

The ranch is really great. You only need about one to two tablespoons of it on a side salad, and it tastes flavorful and rich and is seasoned with all the right combinations of ranch dressing seasonings you can get.  It doesn’t have the weird after taste that low fat or fat free dressings often have at all either, it just tastes like it’s not low fat.  My husband really enjoyed the french one as well, and you can even mix them if you’d like – that’s what I sometimes like to do, to add a bit more creaminess with the zest of french.

Adding salads to your meals definitely helps to fill you up, and it adds a lot of vitamins, fiber and nutrients so that you feel fuller and satiated for a longer period of time.
