braslvr I too, like dressing...helps spruce up even the most boring salads. But, I'm reminded of the calorie count from the iceberg wedge at a steakhouse I dined at in Denver a few months ago....
they managed to turn an innocent lettuce into a 1850 calorie culinary ecstasy.
LOL, I know. 2 tablespoons of a really nice blue cheese dressing is plenty for me on a medium sized salad and only has about 150 calories. The goodies I add tend to be low cal veggies, the most sinful being olives.
