Q: No matter what i do i can't eat a salad. I've tried numerous times, but they just dont seem to be for me. i know it has everything to do with the dressing but i don't really know of any good ones. I'm not a huge fan of ranch and i love things to be a little sweeter... can u help?
A: Well, how about picking a salad apart to determine what you "do" like. Do you like cucumbers? tomatoes? carrots? radishes? Salad is just a name. Create your own using only what you like. Use a caesar dressing, italian, or thousand island as a dip. Experiment at home. Pile on some bacon bits, sunflower seeds, and croutons! Gradually start ordering salads your way at restaurants. ***Always order the dressing on the side, so you control how much to use, and how to use; as a dip for the veggies, or a little on top. Sometimes just a little fresh squeezed lemon juice works. Be crazy...and creative. Give it a try. Enjoy!!!
