Ingredients
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 cup grape seed oil
1/2 teaspoon mustard
2 bunches or 1 cup of blanched green onion
1/2 cup of cilantro
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground white pepper
Preparation
Combine ingredients and blend until smooth and – Bam! – a great salad dressing. Of course, dieters may have raised eyebrows at the mention of grape seed oil – a high-calorie oil (120 calories and 15 fat grams per tablespoon). But, on the plus side, it is a low cholesterol, low sodium and low saturated fat oil – one of the healthy ones, if you will. Additionally, it is an antioxidant supplement and a good source of Vitamin E. So, a little grape seed oil in your dressing, combined with these other fresh, healthy ingredients is a good use of your calories and fat grams.
