Making a salad loaded with fresh and healthy ingredients and then pouring store-bought salad dressing on top is a problem. You're thinking that I'm going to say that the fats/oils in the dressings are turning your healthy salad into a cheat meal. Actually it's not the fact that you are adding fats/oils to your bowl of veggies, but it's the type of fats/oils. The problem is that all salad dressings you find on the shelves of your grocery store are loaded with toxic/inflammatory oils. Avoid squashing the benefits of your veggies with unfavorable oils like canola, corn, soy or "vegetable" by making your own salad dressing at home with healthy fats/oils in under 30 seconds!
