Anyone that has ever had a meal at the Zanini household knows that I am a salt-free cook. It is just our way of trying to lower the sodium in our diet. When a recipe calls for salt, I will make a substitution…double the other spices, replace with garlic powder, etc. Many people feel that salt free = bland and boring. Not necessarily. But if you \u00a0omit salt without including additional spices, herbs or other seasonings, then yes, you will have a less-than-flavorful dish on your hands.<\/p>\n

I also enjoy simplicity in the kitchen, especially during the week when I don’t have as much time on my hands. Maybe it goes back to one of my favorite quotes…<\/p>\n

Things should be made as simple as possible, but not any simpler.<\/em> <\/strong>-Albert Einstein<\/p>\n

With that being said, we always make our own salad dressing because it takes all of two minutes and is 100% sodium free. When you compare this to a commercially prepared salad dressing, this makes is a huge difference! This particular recipe also contains only the healthiest type of fat from the olive oil- not of the saturated fat that will raise your bad (LDL) cholesterol.<\/p>\n

Feel free to keep the leftover dressing stored in a air-tight\u00a0container on your kitchen countertop for up to a week (if you don’t use it all before then!) And if you aren’t a spicy fan, feel free to lower the amount of red pepper flakes.<\/p>\n
