It Might As Well Be Spring

I think I've just discovered the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Trader Joe's Cilantro Salad Dressing.

Salad dressings are very hit and miss with me, more often than not a miss. So, usually I stick to the ones I know and love. Let's face it - at $3.00 plus a bottle, that's a pretty big risk to take if you're only going to use it once. But, I eat a salad almost every day for lunch, and sometimes, my old favorites are, well - boring.

Last night on a quick trip to Trader Joe's, I spotted the cilantro dressing and since I love cilantro, I figured I couldn't go wrong. I was right. This stuff is good! It is almost reminiscent of Cafe Rio's creamy tomatillo dressing, and by almost I mean slightly. But, it's the closest I can get being 2000 miles away. So I'll take it.

Another great thing about this dressing is its low caloric count - just 45 calories per serving (2 TBSP), even though it is creamy. It has no high fructose corn syrup and only 1 gram of sugar. That is very hard to find in a salad dressing - trust me, I've looked!

Better go get yourself a bottle today.
