1. Shallots Grapefruit +

Interesting and non-nutritive mix (only 35 calories per serving) with a bonus in the form of vitamin A and C! This dressing is perfect for salad greens and goat cheese. I think it would be incredibly delicious even with simple lettuce.

Ingredients: 1 teaspoon of olive oil, 1/2 cup chopped onions, shalotta (cup volume of 200 ml), 2 cups grapefruit Frechet (about 3 grapefruit), 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro Melo, 2 teaspoons sugar, 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 2 tablespoons olive oil.

Preparation. Pour on the hot frying pan 1 teaspoon of olive oil and add the shallots. Stirring constantly, bring it to a golden brown and pour in the grapefruit juice. Then continue to cook until the liquid amount is reduced by 1/3 (at medium heat is about 6 minutes). Then remove from heat and cool.

The mixture is cooled down, add the peppers, cilantro and sugar and whisk her blender. While whisking, add to 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Preparation. Mix all the ingredients and blend them in a blender. The recipe is recommended to take yogurt with a fat content of 0%, but if you like not such a dietary option, you can safely replace it. But it is worth remembering about the calorie avocados.

If you do not have maple syrup, you can melt a little brown sugar or honey added. To taste, of course, it is not quite that, but the overall impression does not spoil.
