We love Newman's Own "Lighten Up" Sesame Ginger dressing!! It has great flavor, and portion control is easy because the amount suggested (2Tb per serving) is actually enough to dress a serving of salad and make it actually TASTE like you added dressing!!So last night we had simple salads of romaine lettuce and cooked carrots (bought baby carrots on sale, so I par-cooked and froze in portions to use later) tossed in that dressing, along with roasted red and green bell peppers, and beef that I very thinly sliced when it was still partly frozen (makes it easy to get really thin pretty slices) and tossed in 1 heaping teaspoon of hoisin sauce, 1/2 teaspoon curry paste, 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic, and teaspoon of red wine vinegar. I cooked the beef in a saute pan just long enough to cook thru, which was around 4 minutes total, since I sliced it so thin (good for really quick dinners!).
The Hub really liked it... I think I would add less hoisin to the marinade/coating for the beef next time, and maybe kick up the spice a bit more - I thought the beef was too sweet, and since the salad dressing is also sweet, it would have been nice to have a little variety. But it was VERY quick and healthy (which I need to remember to concentrate on when I meal plan next week!)
