Most people think when they are eating healthy that salads and veggies are a natural choice. It is only healthy is you can steer clear of the thick, creamy dressings and use a lighter alternative

Salad dressings are now being made in spray bottles, these are a healthier choice over the creamy, fatty dressings that many people slather on to their salads. These tasty alternatives can save you more calories than you realize

Balsamic vinegar dressings are another tasty alternative to those greasy, fatty dressings. You can make this dressing at home using equal parts vinegar and oil, add your own preference of seasonings

Flaxseed oil and olive oil make tasty alternatives to corn or canola oil. These oils contain necessary fats that can be used by many bodily organs. Flaxseed oil doesn’t convert to fat cells so this is another added benefit

Another way to dress up your salad without adding extra fat is to squeeze a little lemon juice on your salad. It gives it a tart sweetness that many dieters enjoy.

Some other healthier choices when eating salads are the spray dressings; these offer only 15 to 20 calories per squirt. This is much better than smothering your salad with fatty, creamy dressings that are loaded up with sugar and fat. You can save calories but using moderation.

Instead of smothering your salad and eating needless calories, you can try dipping your fork into the dressing. This method has saved many needless calories for many dieters.

By dipping your fork into the salad dressing before taking a bite, you will get all the flavor and still save calories. You won’t use near as many calories if you eat your salad dressing this way. You will be surprised at how much less dressing you find you need if you try it this way.
