Low Calorie Salad Dressing: Strawberry Shallot Vinaigrette in a spoon and a salad in the bacground

It’s blazing hot outside. I’m sweating in places I didn’t even know I could sweat from. I accidentally left a box of popsicles out on the counter, and they melted within minutes. 🙁 Time to make lemonade, or in this case, Strawberry Shallot Vinaigrette. So good. So yummy. Low calorie salad dressing never tasted better. Add a big, green salad, and even the kids will ask for seconds.

When dinner is served, most of the time, my Little Red just wants to DIG IN! Running around and skateboarding all day, everyday tires him out. Then I realized the trick to eating salad as a meal: a good, sweet dressing like this Strawberry Shallot Vinaigrette. The shallots give it a mild oniony flavor. If you use a zero calorie popsicle, you’ve got a low calorie salad dressing. Yay! Those store-bought dressings have got nothin’ on this recipe, except maybe a hefty price tag. Before you take out a second loan on the house, just melt more popsicles. 😀

Pouring into a salad the Strawberry Shallot Vinaigrette

The salad is made of:

4 cups of chopped lettuce
¼ cup sliced almonds
1 avocado, diced
¼ cup crumbled blue cheese
½ lb bacon, chopped and cooked

It may be a low calorie salad dressing, but I added contents to the salad that bring the calories back up… like BACON and CHEESE. Take a few calories out here. Add some more there. So, adjust accordingly.

Or add some protein to make it a complete meal. Like leftover Camarones al Ajillo or Higado Encebollado

This salad is kinda fancy too. Reminds me of being at a posh, overpriced cafe where someone named Alastair or Pierre come to serve you. Oui. Oui.
