This week I decided to try and eat salad without oil because I am really trying to reduce my calories and fat intake. So, I decided to try something a little different with my salad this week and it turned out great! For the first time ever, I didn’t use oil on my salad, but instead I replaced it with Sabrosa Gourmet Salsa and it was great! This simple substitution is a 30 – 50% reduction in calories and fat without the oil. Enjoy!
