Note

Prep & Serving Suggestions:

  • It’s important to follow the order of directions rather than just throwing the salad ingredients into a jar.  These salads work best when dressing goes first and lettuce goes last.
  • If you’d rather not use the vinaigrette here, substitute a store-bought light dressing. Bolthouse Farms has some nice yogurt-based lean dressings. Try to use one with less than 3 to 5 grams of fat.
  • You can also use Slim Belly Vinaigrette (page 474).
