BALSAMIC SPA DRESSING - BONNIE STERN - VIRTUALLY FAT-FREE
This dressing has wonderful flavour with virtually no fat. Try this on a Spinach and Strawberry salad....it will blow your mind and your tastebuds. Taken from her 'Heart Smart' cookbook, she notes: "This dressing can also be made with other mild vinegars such as raspberry, sherry, Champagne or a good red wine vinegar." NOTE: after several reviews, I'm going to adjust the water amount to 1/2 - 1 cup. Thanks for the suggestions everyone. :)

FAT-FREE ITALIAN-BALSAMIC SALAD DRESSING
I LOVE this dressing on a salad of mixed greens, onion, tomato, cucumber, green pepper, celery....oh, heck...just about anything!!! I created this one a while back when I was experimenting to find a good dressing without oil, and I have been using it ever since. If I am making only a single-serve salad, I estimate the amounts and add more swetener or spices to fit my taste. Super-healthy and super-tasty!!!

SWEET CORNBREAD - BONNIE STERN
I'm such a lover of cornbread, that I couldn't pass up this version. Another wonderful recipe from her book "Friday Night Dinners". Bonnie writes that "she received this recipe from executive chef Anthony Rose of Toronto's Drake Hotel". Very easy and flavourful. She also mentions that the follow may be added: diced olives, sun-dried tomatoes or fresh herbs. We enjoyed the plain version very much. Easily halved and baked in a 9 x 9 pan.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt and sugar.
- In a separate bowl, combine eggs, oil and buttermilk.
- Add egg mixture to the large bowl and combine. Add corn and jalapeno, if using. Stir until all ingredients are moistened.
- Transfer batter to an oiled 13 x 9 baking dish. Bake in a preheated 350*F oven for 35 minutes, or until bread springs back when pressed in center or a cake tester comes out clean.
- Cool for 20 minutes before cutting.
- NOTE: If using Soy Milk, sour by adding 1 tbsp of vinegar or lemon juice and let stand for 10 minutes before adding.
Tips:
- For a tangier dressing, use a balsamic vinegar that has been aged for at least 5 years.
- If you don't have any balsamic vinegar on hand, you can substitute red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
- To make a creamy dressing, add a tablespoon or two of plain Greek yogurt or sour cream.
- For a more flavorful dressing, add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard or a pinch of dried thyme or oregano.
- If you're using the dressing on a salad, be sure to toss the salad gently to avoid wilting the greens.
Conclusion:
Balsamic spa dressing is a versatile and delicious dressing that can be used on salads, vegetables, and even grilled meats. It's a healthy and flavorful alternative to traditional salad dressings, and it's easy to make at home. So next time you're looking for a light and refreshing dressing, give balsamic spa dressing a try.
