My sister makes this salad that is SO good, but the dressing (with the sugar and the oil) makes it not so healthy. Do you have any ideas for lightening it up but still retaining the basic flavor?
Here's the recipe:
1 pkg flavored almonds
lettuce
red onion or scallions
½ cup oil
½ cup sugar
3 tsp soy sauce
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
¼ tsp salt

blend oil, sugar, soy, salt
toss just before serving.
I don't usually add the onions. It's the dressing that I would like to tweak. The 1/2 cups of oil and sugar are danger zones (right?). But oh, YUM. It makes me hungry just thinking about it! hehehe
