I suppose it is the dressing but how oil and vinegar could add up to so much, I don't know.

I always have salads with no dressing and if it comes with croutons or cheese etc I just leave those on the plate. I think that if the raw ingredients are fresh then there is no loss of flavour by leaving out the calorific additions.JayCeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01373622852406554111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721950935860033351.post-9978338210460750512021-03-14T12:25:12.014-04:002021-03-14T12:25:12.014-04:00The dressing must be really rich or the nuts or cr...The dressing must be really rich or the nuts or croutons add a lot.

I think it's mostly dressing, and also buttery croutons and nuts and cheese, but God only knows what else might be in there.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721950935860033351.post-31126569223956421712021-03-14T11:47:14.624-04:002021-03-14T11:47:14.624-04:00It's a conspiracy to keep people fat and puzzl...It's a conspiracy to keep people fat and puzzled! I've lost 80 pounds. I basically have lived on meal replacements for the past 18 or more months. My stomach feels better when I consume only liquids. I have gastroparesis and since losing weight, my diabetes is under tight control. That alone makes me feel like I've accomplished something spectacular. Restaurants stuff things like nuts, seeds, bacon, etc into a lot of their salads and all that does is add to the caloric intake. People see the word "salad" and immediately assume it's low calorie and like you, many times they find out just how wrong that assumption can be.Mildred Ratched https://www.blogger.com/profile/04705394337558739078noreply@blogger.com
