Slender Blue Cheese and Basil Salad Dressing

Slender Blue Cheese and Basil Salad Dressing

We all have weaknesses. My weakness is blue cheese served with the crusts from a loaf of fresh French bread. I don't eat the soft, cloud-like middle of the bread, I only eat the crust - with a spread of blue cheese. Clearly I have a blue cheese and French bread crust problem and I need some intervention.

I need a plan - a blue cheese fix without all the calories.

Maybe I should chop a plate of fresh vegetables to replace the crusty French bread, and whip up a blue cheese salad dressing recipe to dip them in. Sounds boring compared to my guilty pleasure, doesn't it?

What if I serve my dressing as a sauce on a chicken wrap with the veggies on the side?

Now I've satisfied my blue cheese craving with an entire meal I can feel good about eating. No regrets - I'm truly happy.

Replacing the high-fat mayonnaise used in creamy salad dressings with low-fat plain yogurt or low-fat cottage cheese reduces calories, and adds nutrition in the form of calcium and protein.
