I just read the most interesting thing on the School Garden Weekly (http://schoolgardenweekly.com/). It quoted an NPR report that said you need a little real oil-based dressing to absorb the nutrients in a salad! In a study at the Iowa State University people who used low or non-fat dressings did not absorb the nutrients as well. It also said that by cooking carrots a little you actually increase the nutrients that are absorbed by the body.
No more salad spritzers for me!

Yummmm...No longer will I feel the guilt as I slurp up my savory salad dressings. Love salads!
