Old Chicago Salad Dressing Recipes

This is a makeover of Ruby Tuesdays Carolina Chicken Salad, with a calorie intake at over 1,000, is no way for any American to eat, there has to be a better way.
I chose to add flavorful, healthier ingredients to pack this "3C Salad" with character, class, and crunch. 3C Salad is quickly becoming a family favorite for lunch.

Creamy healthy dressing for salad to use in place of other higher fat cream dressings

Simple and Healthy Dip for Crackers or Veggies

Salad

This is a high-fat, 'special occassion' (or SMALL portion only!) salad... But SO good! :)

The tangy dressing contrasts well with the smoky bacon, sweet bell pepper, and red onion.

Watermelon is a favorite summer dessert, but it makes a lovely salad, too. Here, creamy citrus dressing pairs with the sweet melon and crunchy celery.

This veggie salad is great in the summer, use up all those zucchini from the garden or substitue edamame for the zucchini, great flavor.

Using lowfat buttermilk and dry ranch dressing mix for big servings of tasty dressing - a serving would be 1/4 cup! I like a lot of dressing and don't care for vinegar all that much.

Good in sandwiches, on pizza, and stuffed into a baked potato, this spicy chicken is far lighter than Buffalo wings.

A nice summer salad that is a great dish to bring to an outdoor party... or to eat any time of the year. This recipe was modified from a full fat version and it tastes quite nice without that extra fat! The original recipe also called for baby spinach but not everyone likes spinach (like my dad). The original recipe was given to me by a family friend.

With green vegetables and reduced fat dressing, this pasta salad will satisfy your hunger.
