Fat-Free Oil Substitute
for Salad Dressings

Sometimes it's easy to ruin a perfectly health and lovely salad by drowning it in a high fat or low fat, high fructose corn syrup dressing. Instead, I use this fat-free oil substitute - a simple mixture in place of oil in salad dressing recipes. It really sticks to the lettuce, unlike using water or vinegar as a substitute. I love this fat-free oil substitute used with Good Seasonings Italian Dressing in place of the oil.

Ingredients:

1 cup water
1 tablespoon low-sodium vegetarian broth powder
2 teaspoons cornstarch

Preparation:

Whisk the broth powder and starch into the cold water in a small saucepan.
Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened and clear.
Cool and use in a salad dressing, or store in a covered jar and refrigerate.
