Salad Dressing

Light Dressing, what can i say? It's some of the most awful stuff that people actually purchase and ingest on a regular basis. The taste is, well, artificial, and creamy dressings lack the creamy that so entices us in the first place. I finally found a solution I can handle: Hidden Valley Original Light Ranch. We're not talking fat free, and it's certainly not the lightest Light Dressing on the market, but it has something something other light ranches don't have:

it tastes good.

That's all there is to it. I had a nice salad today with lettuce, tomato, turkey sausage, black beans, homemade pumpernickel croutons, and a full quarter cup of dressing. I always thought I would be content to dip my fork in the dressing, having a small dose wih my pentiful salad, but I've learned that I'm not.

I'm a glopper. I want to spread creamy, delicious dressing all over my salad, infuse it with flavor, and whitewash my lettuce. I want people to look at my salad and think, "my GOODNESS that looks delicious," not "I really should be having that healthy salad that he's having." So, in my effort to satisfy both my shrinking waistline and my particular taste buds, I offer the true and blessed Hidden Valley Light Ranch Dressing.

Don't do the fat free—it tastes like vinegar and artificial powders.

Do the Light thing . . .

(sometimes I just can't help myself!)
