When people start trying to eat in a more healthy way, they often start loading up on the salads. That instinct is pretty good – it’s always important to get more green veggies! – but salads do have a hidden cost. You know what we’re talking about— the dressing! While we love dressings for the way they can add flavor to our greens, we don’t love the extra fat and calories they can mean. Thankfully, there are plenty of ways to make those salad dressings healthier without losing any taste. Check out THREE recipes from ULIVE.
