How Do You Eat Your Salad?
24 02 2008 
I heard this great tip at one of my weekly WW meetings and wanted to pass it along.
How do you eat your salad?
a) I pour the dressing all over my salad.
b) I order the dressing on the side and dip the salad on my fork into the dressing.
c) I order the dressing on the side and dip the fork into the dressing before putting the salad on my fork.
Since WW, I’ve always done b) and dipped my salad into my dressing. I never considered that if I dip my fork into the dressing first, I always get the taste of the dressing while using so much less. I’ll be doing c) from now on! So the next time you order a salad, consider how you eat it.
C is what I always try to do, but unfortunately at times I find myself using smaller and smaller pieces of lettuce to get more of the dressing taste! Defeats the purpose, eh?
This is a great tip. I always pour my dressing over my salad. It is always too much. I am going to try this. Thanks for sharing.
Kim! Thanks for the comment–I have already gained tremendous support just finding this site! I’ll keep you posted. Hopefully on my day off I can figure out how to post a sidebar with more info.
