Guide Review - Wish-Bone Salad Spritzers

Many a healthy salad has been ruined by adding too much dressing. We're used to pouring on dressing, drizzling it (which seems to me a fancier way of pouring) or simply dipping into dressing on the side. However you apply salad dressing, the chances are, you use too much. Here's a neat low-fat option that might just help: By using a pump spray, Wish-Bone Salad Spritzers allow you control how much dressing you add to your salad. At one calorie per spritz or spray, and 10 calories—or 10 sprays—to dress one cup of salad, this seems an ideal way to add flavor to your salad with very little fat.

Of all the flavors, which include Caesar Delight, Asian Silk and Raspberry Bliss, the Balsamic Breeze is the best-tasting. The Italian dressing was a little sweet for my liking. All the varieties are somewhat watery, as you would expect, but they impart just enough flavor to your salad without overdoing it. Just remember to shake the bottle before you spray.

It's still available at Sack-N-Save in Kailua-Kona; enjoying the 'Honey Mustard Buzz' flavor right now.
