Tasty Diet Dressing

Salad dressing has derailed at least seven of my diets. Fat-free varieties are either bitter or icky sweet, so I end up skipping salads altogether. The spa version uses thickened nonfat vegetable stock, which uncannily resembles emulsified olive oil, as a base. Soon you'll be buying greens in bulk and jeans in a smaller size.

Freeze stock in an ice-cube tray; mix one cube (thawed) with 1 tablespoon vinegar, Dijon mustard and herbs to taste for one serving.
