A salad without dressing is just too bland, but...
Sylvia says, "Certain salad dressings are very high in
energy. A spoonful of Thousand Island dressing, for example,
contains 59 kcal of energy while the same amount of
mayonnaise contains even higher energy, at 94 kcal. What#&39;s
more, a spoonful of fish sauce contains 1413 mg of sodium.
That#&39;s why we need healthy alternatives like low-fat salad
dressings, low-fat yogurt and balsamic vinegar. Also add
herbs, garlic, ginger, chilli, curry powder or other spices
to a salad for better flavour."
