Introduction

In the recipe I used an oil and Vinegar dressing, this gives a higher calorie and fat content, 300 calories and 32 grams of fat in the total recipe. If you use light dressing total calories goes to 70 and fat drops to 3 grams. Add or subrtact if you so choose. Use your favorite salad pasta noodle. Heck add onions too if you like, they don't add too many calories (50 for a medium one).
