(Yes I know....should have done that first) and there are 15 grams of fat in it! A tiny little pack of dressing! I alsmost choked! Luckily I only used a tiny bit at a time because I don't like it to sit on the lettuce and it takes me about 2 hours to eat when I'm working. Well, I guess I'll be bringing my own dressing from home from now on. I just wanted to warn you that you just never know where you're going to find fat hiding! |
Yes, I would be taking my dressing from home. Have the dressing on the side and just dip your fork in it for each bite. That's exactly what I do. I don't want it sitting on my lettuce and getting it all wet! Yuck!
Be careful and don't eat a LOT of salads day to day. They are Vitamin K and that causes blood to clot.
Yes, you have to read the labels on everything. You can't be too careful!
Good luck! Keep the comments coming! That's what we want you to do.
