A "healthy" fast food meal

I still prefer whole fat dressings as lowfat ones are filled with sugar and too sweet for my tastes. I just dip the veggies into a little bit and I don't use much dressing at all. I use full fat homemade salad dressings for my own salads. equal parts of extra-virgin olive oil and vinegar, a pinch of cayenne and salt, yum! 1/2 a tablespoon of olive oil (1.5 teaspoons) has 60 calories, and it's a good fat. (In other words - a "standard serving" of one tablespoon has 120 calories ... not too bad if you eat one serving or less) That's how much I use (measured) for each of my servings of salad. 1/2 tablespoon. I find that the fat scratches where it itches, and coats an entire serving. (Most people are used to soupy salad). I've tried the low-fat dressings too. They taste too sickeningly sweet to me due to their high sugar content (or whatever they use for sweetener) and the ingredients I've read can choke a mule - ick blech.

Have you guys tried using normal sour cream for dressing. It tastes great, is a natural product, has no sugar etc. I hate all salad dressings. They taste like ****. I often use full-fat plain yogurt (ingredients: Milk ingredients, bacterial culture - that's it). Again, I am picky when it comes to ingredients, and sour cream that I've seen has ingredients I don't care to eat. Prior to that I was completely dairy free, but somehow plain yogurt seems to agree with me.

A "healthy" fast food meal
I am a taco bell junkie but when I am doing healthy fast food I go for
Subway. It's tasty, quick and has plenty of choices that I can eat without guilt. "Brad Sheppard" wrote in message om... My wife introduced me to Taco Bell today. Their "pintos + cheese" is 99 cents, 180 calories, 10 grams of fiber, 4 g of saturated fat. Not bad at all. I mixed 1.25 ounces of walnuts with mine (to make 400 calories) - pretty tasty - really! Anyone else have a healthy fast food meal? |

A tip I got from Graham Kerr's Minimax Cookbook was to put some dressing into the salad and put it in the salad spinner. It coats the salad and the excess comes off. Jenn |
