Chicken broth in my salad dressing?

Are you nuts?

While you might think putting chicken broth in your salad dressing is a little weird, it works. This Low Fat Low-Calorie Garlic-Basil Vinaigrette is really delicious; the chicken broth adds a “meatiness” to the dressing and keeps the calories down.

Way down.

Down to only 27 calories and 2 grams of fat per serving!

And remember,  when dressing a salad you don’t have to use all the dressing, just enough to “kiss” the greens, not drown them.

You can use this dressing on any salad you want, but it’s particularly good on a hearty salad, with lots of veggies and some grilled or poached chicken breast.

A low-fat, low-cal lunch or dinner.

And unlike many no or low-fat dressings you can buy, this one has no added sugar or carbs.

Store any left-over dressing covered in the refrigerator for up to a week.
