Scoopable Salad Essentials - Trade in the full-fat mayo for some mustard-infused Hellmann's/Best Foods Dijonnaise. Just 5 calories per teaspoon, and it's super-flavorful. Then add lots of veggies for bulk. I'm also a huge fan of albacore tuna and pink salmon packed in water, especially the pouches -- no can opener or draining involved! Dressings & Dressing Swaps - I LOVE spray dressings, like the kinds by Wish-Bone and Ken's. It's difficult to overdo it with the sprays, and they have only 1 to 2 calories per spray. So spritz away! I've been known to bring a bottle in my purse to restaurants. I also love using fresh salsa as a salad dressing -- it's fat-free and adds tons of flavor! And try mixing low-calorie BBQ sauce with some fat-free ranch dressing for a cool 'n zesty twist! Salad Toppers - I love to pile my salads high with guilt-free goodies like canned beans (a few tablespoons go far), sweet corn kernels, sliced beets, fat-free shredded cheese, and even crushed low-fat baked tortilla chips (like the kinds by Guiltless Gourmet) for some crunch! Who needs fatty croutons anyway?
