3 2/3 cups cooked large elbow macaroni, cooked
without fat or salt(about 8 ounces -- uncooked)
4 cups coarsely chopped tomato(about 2 1/2 lbs) -- peeled and seeded

Spicy chicken salad
1 serving...... 3pts

1 boneless skinless chicken breast
salad ingredients (whatever you like)
in use either or

taco seasoning (in the paper pkg.)
fajita seasoning (i use the stuff made by mccormicks)

cut the breast into cubes or strips. sprinkle
generously with the fajita seasoning. cook till done
in a skillet with non-stick spray. add some water to
the pan and some taco seasoning. cook till the
chicken has obviously absorbed some of the taco
flavoring, but leave some juice. put the chicken and
juice over the salad. 3 points as long as you don't
use cheese. salad dressing isn't needed because of
the juice leftover in the pan. substitute salsa for
the taco seasoning and its a little spicier.
This makes one serving, but is obviously easy to
increase.

i have a fabulolus turkey with toasted sesame seeds dressing......it not on my puter will post it tomorrow! enjoy gang!!


oh and here are some salad dressings i adore to make.

catalina dressing

1/2 cup ketchup, plus 1 tablespoon ketchup
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup splenda or other sugar substitute
1/3 cup white vinegar
1 tablespoon plus 1 tsp olive oil
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon coarsely-ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon onion powder (I used about 1/2 tsp minced onion flakes)
1 pinch thyme

Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, whisking often, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Cover the dressing until cool, then refrigerate it until well chilled.

It makes a little more than a cup of dressing, and the entire cup comes out to about 5 points. So it is about a quarer of a point or half a point (0.25 or 0.5 points or less) per serving...depending on how much you use!

I thought it was really good...give it a try if you want something zesty and a bit different! Let me know if you all like it!Instead, I found a bottle of BBQ sauce (Jack Daniel's Smokehouse BBQ) and I used that instead of the ketchup. It's AWESOME: the barbque sauce has less calories then the ketchup so its less points.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

creamy italian dressing

make a Creamy Italian by blending 1 cup FF Cottage Cheese with 1/3 to 1/2 cup of milk (or buttermilk) and then adding a package of dry Italian Seasoning. That is about 1 point per 1/4 quarter cup and is very tasty.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
blue cheese dressing

1/2 cup fat free mayonnaise
2 tablespoons 1% milk
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground mustard
1/2 cup (2 ounces) crumbled blue cheese
Salad greens

In a small bowl, combine the first six ingredients; blend until smooth. Add the blue cheese; mix well. Serve over greens. Cover and refrigerate any extra dressing. Yield: 14 tablespoons.

2 T. = 1 point
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is a recipe I got from a substitute WW leader a few years back. Unfortunately, I don't know her name.

1/2 c. fat free sour cream
1/2 c. light (I use fat free) mayonnaise
5 level tsp Dijon mustard (you can go to taste on this - Dijon can vary in intensity)
4 tbsp. white wine vinegar
1 tsp. dried parsley flakes
1 tsp. dried basil
1 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/2c c. fat free or light milk

Combine all ingredients (except milk) in a bowl. Stir to blend, then slowly pour in milk and mix. Refrigerate and allow the flavors to blend for 30 minutes before serving.
Makes 2-1/4 c. or 20 (2 tbsp.) servings

I'm not sure how many point this equals - I think it's a 0 point dressing.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A copy cat Ceasar Dressing

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup white vinegar
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons corn syrup
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons romano cheese
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon parsley
1 tablespoon lemon juice

I love taco salad and you can make a low calorie version , using either boco meatless meat or what i use, which is ff ground turkey. I put iceberg lettuce, fat free shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes and onions in it. Top it with salsa and fat free sour cream. For some extra calories you can crush up baked doritos for a little crunch.

I also like hot chicken on my salads. Makes it feel more like a "winter" meal to me.
