Salad dressing choices in La Veranda

[kjbacon]

Admittedly, I should know this but I just can’t remember! Are there any light choices for dressing at the salad bar, other than oil and vinegar? I was supposed to lose the usual 10 lbs in preparation for next week’s cruise but I guess I forgot that too 🤣 and it’s better to splurge at dinner than lunch.

Forego the dressing and taste the salad- that's what I do 😜😂

I love olive oil and balsamic as well! I recently discovered white balsamic and it is fantastic.

 

I realize this doesn't really answer your question but before you bust yourself up looking for light choices for prepared dressings, compare the "light" vs "reg" ones at a grocery store. You might be surprised to find the fat is heavily offset by sugar.

 

A dietitian once told me, just be conservative with the dressings/condiments.A tablespoon of a salad dressing or ketchup isn't going to make a difference, especially if it helps you scratch that itch and not go overboard with something else.

Agree 100%

Or dress lightly with a little balsamic vinegar or fresh squeezed lemon and fresh ground pepper

Balsamic white vinegar is a complete dressing for me!!  However, I also use the Skinny Girl brand for 10 calories a serving, and I prefer the Honey Dijon Fat Free Sugar Free bottle.  I doubt you would find it in a cruise ship.

I looked today when I was up there and didn't see anything loCal or fat free, all just regular.

Thank you! That’s what I thought I remembered but just wasn’t sure. Time to get creative!
