Hello,
It says low calorie vinaigrette but it contain 5 tbsp of olive oil. 1 tbsp of olive oil has around 140 calories so 5 tbsp means a lot of grams of fat, good fat but still fat. Even you do not eat all one time still a lot of oil in this recipe.
This was delicious! Easy to make too!
For those of you wondering what’s in the salad, it looks to me like a “real” greek salad. Cucumbers, red onion, olives, tomatoes and feta. My boyfriend is Greek and we went to Greece last summer for 11 days. I ate like a fiend and did NO EXERCISE (sadly) for the entire vaca. Just lay on the beach every day and I lost 3 pounds! The Mediterranean diet of lots of fruits and veggies and not eating processed food really makes a difference. Of course I put it back on once I got home but that made me realize how bad the American diet is so I’ve made lots of changes and I have so much more energy and look and feel so much better!
