You know, I think that if there was a person you didn't like, and you handed them Wasabi Peas and a Vernor's ginger ale, and told them to inhale the smell of Vernor's through their nose and then take a bite of the Wasabi Peas and then exhale through their nose, you could kill them and totally get away with it.

Watching Calories?

I'm on a diet right now... and I'm trying to adjust the way I eat all the time.  Not a crash diet, but a revamping my habits diet.

Anyway, I love salad.  I always have.  However, I love my salad with dressing - not plain.  When I was grocery shopping, I saw there was a bogo sale on these Wishbone Salad Spritzers.  So I got the Caesar and the Red Wine.

Oh my god, they are so good.  Despite being only 2 calories a spray.  The serving size is 10 sprays, which I think would be fine for a side salad... I had an entree sized salad though and used about 15-16 sprays.  So I got my dressing for like 30 calories.  Not bad at all... and super yummy.

I haven't tried the red wine one yet, but I'm going to tonight.  I'm half tempted to go back and buy all of them.

Whenever I have a salad I get the dressing on the side. I dip my fork in the dressing first and then pick up some salad with the fork. that way the dressing is on the bottom and it hits my tongue first. I get all of the taste and eat probably only 20% of the dressing I would eat if it were poured over the top.

I'm glad you like them.  I tried the red wine one.  Meh.

When I eat salad, I put it in a plastic container that I can seal and put about a teaspoon of dressing in and shake shake shake, shake shake shake, shake your booty, shake your booty ... er.  I got a little sidetracked there.

There's a salad place here that does the shaking thing for you if you want. They make good salads.

No, like a pump spray.  No CFC's in my veggies.

There is a chain of salad restaurants called Salad Works that make awesome salads. I wouldn't call them any healthier or lower in calories than fast food, but they sure taste good. Strangely, they also have a very small selection of vegetarian salads.

be careful with this spray, the second ingredient is HFCS.  sugars like this can slow weight-loss, although this only has 1gram of sugar per serving, so I guess it really isn't that bad.  damn.... maybe i'll try this

That's probably why I didn't like it!  Thanks for solving that mystery, PE!
