To eliminate the fat, but keep some flavor, salad dressing companies rely on adding sugar to their fat-free dressings. There’s sometimes as much as 8 grams of sugars per serving. Regular dressing with canola or olive oil as the top ingredient have either no or very little sugar in them. They’re more calories, but canola and olive oil are heart-healthy fats that help lower cholesterol. My advice? Ditch the store bought dressing all together and make your own. Olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. That’s it! It’s delicious, easy and healthy.
