  • A friend of mine served this on a very simple salad consisting principally of Boston Lettuce. (The 'softness' of the lettuce seemed to go well with the combination). Anyway, she just gave me the recipe for it, so I thought I'd share.

    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
    1/2 - 1 teaspoon sugar (or equivalent sugar substitute)
    1 teaspoon (or more) cinnamon

    This is TERRIFIC stuff, and since I learned tonight I'm actually supposed to incorporate 2-3 points of fats/oils into to my diet daily, I just may have to make me some.

    The above, by the way, is for a single salad serving.
