We love to eat salad because it seems so healthy--all those veggies wrestling around in there. But add just a couple tablespoons of salad dressing and you've gone form zero fat to quite a lot of grams of the stuff, before your main course has even hit the table. And if the salad dressing is as tasty and addicting as the dressing the Olive Garden serves, you might be pouring on a lot more than just a couple tablespoons. So now we just have to figure out a way to cut those fat grams and hold on to the flavor of the dressing that has become so popular you can buy it by the bottle at the Olive Garden restaurants.
Let's do this: We'll take out the oil, and add dry pectin to thicken the dressing, along with more water than would be used in the original version. We can even put a good amount of Romano cheese in there and still be sure that a single serving of the dressing has less that 1/2 gram of fat. Add some vinegar, a little corn syrup and lemon juice, some spices--bingo! Mission accomplished. This one's a keeper.
