Spray & Save (calories that it!) – Most people that I meet don’t realize how many extra calories they consume each day from things like salad dressing. Even if you use healthful olive oil based dressings, the calories still add up. I love the idea of a salad dressing ‘mister’ to help you spray on flavor without overdoing it when it comes to calories. Check out this one by Prepara from www.surlatable.com
