My Favorite Store Bought Reduced-fat Salad Dressings…
For years I was completely disappointed in the reduced-fat salad dressings sold in supermarkets.Ā They often tasted medicinal or simply unpleasant and I felt better off using a small amount of a high-fat dressing, or giving up on taste and using vinegar or fresh-squeezed lemon juice.Ā Out of frustration, I ultimately created my own line of reduced-fat dressings.Ā These dressings were used in my restaurant, Nancyās Healthy Kitchen and sold in many supermarkets in southern California.Ā Years later, I wrote a salad dressing book, Nancyās Healthy Kitchen Reduced-Fat Salad Dressings Book.Ā It’s available at https://www.skinnykitchen.com/recipes/nancys-healthy-kitchen-reduced-fat-salad-dressings-book/.
Now, I’m happy to say, Iāve tasted and used many delicious reduced-fat bottled dressings sold in supermarkets. Iām sharing some of my favorites.

What does āweight watchers points plus ā mean?
Does it mean more than 3 WW points?
Thank you…
Linda Points Plus was Weight Watchers old program before SmartPoints. Many people have stayed on that program and have requested that I still keep them.
My best,
