Calorie Bargain: Salad Spritzers Print E-mail
by Charles Stuart Platkin   
Saturday, 08 July 2006
The Why: These dressings are quite the discovery for those who normally dump dressing onto salads thinking that they’re making a healthful choice.

The Health Bonus: The new spray bottle lets you monitor the amount of dressing you put on.

What We Liked Best: Also, this is not just their regular dressing - it’s a lower-calorie version. One tablespoon (about 20 sprays) contains 20 calories, while 1 tablespoon of regular dressing has about 35 to 40 calories. 

What We Liked Least: The sprays are made with High Fructose Corn Syrup.

The Price: $3.49

Offerings: Balsamic Breeze Vinaigrette, Italian Vinaigrette, Red Wine Mist Vinaigrette.

Website: www.wish-bone.com

Where to buy: Local grocery store. 

Ingredients: Water, balsamic vinegar, high fructose corn syrup, soybean oil, salt, distilled vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, onion juice, garlic juice, xanthan gum, natural flavors, sorbic acid and calcium disodium edta (used to protect quality), wine, soybean lecithin. Contains sulfites.

Agree with Diet Detective that the spritzers were too sweet.

Looks like it might be a winner, but how about the sodium and what kind of fat is in the product?
