Salad "Spritzers"

A good choice for salad dressing!

I found this dressing... that actually isn't half bad. Its only 1 calorie per spray. Today I had a Spring Mix salad with Baby Spinach and I used this for my dressing.
1 serving is 10 sprays = 10 calories, 0.5grams of fat, and no fiber.
I used 20 sprays which brought the total to 20 caleries 1 gram fat. (0 points) *yay* =)

Southwest Wrap

This was a pretty good lunch & it was quick too!

Ingredients:
Chicken
Black Beans
Corn
Lettuce
Laughing Cow Cheese Wedge
Fat Free Tortilla Shell

Directions:
Heat the chicken, beans and corn in a non-stick skillet sprayed with cooking spray. Spread the cheese over the tortilla shell and top with lettuce & warm mixture.

I really liked this recipe, but next time I will probaly spice it up with some red or green peppers. Also, I LOVE Laughing Cow Cheese, but it's so mild that I couldn't really taste it in this recipe. I will probably relace it with some low fat dressing next time...

Croutons

I made some croutons on Saturday using my Arnold Extra Fiber bread...

Ingredients:
2 slices Arnold Extra Fiber wheat bread (2 pts)
1 tsp Olive Oil (1 pt)
Italian Seasoning (0 pts)




Instructions:

Cut the bread into bite sized pieces, coat with olive oil, and sprinkle with seasoning. Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes, stir, and bake for another 10 minutes or until they look done.





Two slices of bread made enough for 3 salads, so it works out to about 1 Point/Serving. They were a little dry, but I thought they were pretty good. The kiddo's seemed to like them too...
