Low Fat versions
Here's a thread for low fat versions of ordinary foods that can throw off your progress if you are not careful.
I'll start us off with some of my favorites, but please chip in!

Re: Low Fat versions
Salad dressing:
this is an elegant vinegrette, flavorful and practically no fat:
3 T olive oil
3/4 cup balsamic vinegar
6 T dijon mustard
1-2 cloves garlic, pressed
salt
pepper (or a dash of hot sauce!)
shake it up, and enjoy on mixed greens or any green salad.

Re: Low Fat versions
Mock Lo Mein
for 1 big eater or 2 regular portions
Whole thing = WW Points 4; Calories Approx. 225
Boil water and cook 2 ounces spaghetti noodles, the regular size spaghetti works best (I use whole wheat). Drain.
Mix together: 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce; 1/4 tsp. powdered ginger, 1/4 tsp garlic powder (or more). Stir & Set aside.
Stir Fry over high heat in a pan sprayed with Pam:
2 tbsp. chopped onion
1 cup fresh mushrooms, chopped
1 cup broccoli chopped
1 or 2 mini carrots slivered
When veggies are almost done, add the soy sauce mixture and simmer for a few minutes. Then dump in the drained spaghetti and mix it all up. Put a lid on it. Turn off the heat and let it sit for 10 minutes.
To me this tastes very close to the kind you get at a Chinese Restaurant. I really like it - and it tastes even better left over after all the flavors blend!
I add more soy sauce when I serve it.
