Nutritional Information Calculated based on a low fat dressing with 60 calories per 2 tablespoons
For the dressing, you can use any bottled dressing you like, I've just given you two flavors that I think would go nice with the recipe. If you prefer to make your own (I do!) you can use this Balsamic Vinegar Dressing for a low fat option. The recipe uses chia seeds and I typically make it completely oil free. For a more conventional but slightly lower fat option, you can also use this Balsamic Vinaigrette.
