I was looking for a different kinds of salad dressing. Low in Weight Watcher point value and where a little went a long way. I found it in the Beet Citrus Dressing. Just 1 SP for 4 TBSP. It is more than enough to cover a BIG salad and tastes great with my kale. It is deep, earthy beets pair with sweet orange and acidic white vinegar to make a nuanced dressing that will enhance everything from salad to pizza to a marinated steak! Makes a salad for 6, six times.
I had heard AMAZING things about organic coconut oil but I was afraid that it would test like coconut. The only way that I like coconut is in my pina coladas. Most places had LARGE jars and were a bit pricey. This size jar was perfect and was only $9.00! Coconut Oil can be used for oven roasting, pan frying, and in place of butter in many baking recipes. I didn’t find it to have any taste or change the flavoring when I cooked but I know they say it can give food an “exotic taste”. Maybe our taste buds are just a little OLD! Here are some health facts about Coconut Oil:
- Coconut oil is 86.5% saturated fatty acid.
- 58.1% of the saturated fatty acids are medium chain fatty acids 1 which compose medium-chain-triglycerides (MCTs).
- As part of a balanced diet, plus exercise, using coconut oil in the place of a selection of other fats or oils has been shown to promote a reduction in abdominal obesity.
I wasn’t sure how I was going to use this. The suggestion was combine it with oil for dipping but I’m not a big fan of the bread/oil combo. So I decided to use it on my roasted veggies. OMG! This with some olive oil was amazing!
