Low-Fat Tomato Basil Dressing

It's enticing to purchase ready-made salad dressings. It's certainly convenient, but jarred dressings often are high in calories, full of additives and are expensive. Keep it off by learning to make your own low-fat dressings. It's healthier, cheaper and tastier.

    I have tried other so called low fat, low calorie homemade dressings and they come out BLAHHHH! Not this one it is full of flavor without all the fat and calories most salad dressings have. Saving this to make over and over again.
