I ate too much at my parent's over vacation

Got on the scale the day after my vacation, and I don't just feel fat. The scale doesn't lie. I went to Stew Leonard's one too many times. If you are from Connecticut, you'll know what I'm talking about.

Anyway, it's time to eat light so salads are in order.

Here are a few of my favorite salad dressings. I never buy bottled dressings. Homemade is a million times better and super-easy.

Honey Balsamic
2 TB honey
2 TB balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
salt/pepper

Honey and Rice Wine
2 TB honey
2 TB rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
salt/pepper

Dijon Vinaigrette
2 TB Dijon mustard
2 TB red wine vinegar
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
salt/pepper

Honey Dijon Vinaigrette
2 TB dijon mustard
1 TB honey
2 TB red wine vinegar
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
salt/pepper

Strawberry Balsamic
2 TB strawberry jam
2 TB balsamic
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
salt/pepper

In all of these recipes, simply mix all ingredients other than oil with a whisk and then add olive oil in a slow stream until incorporated. You won't be disappointed with any of these. Delicious. Just remember not to dress the salad until right before you eat.
