For those of us who eat healthy tend to eat a lot of chicken! Personally, I get tired of grilled chicken marinated in Italian dressing and get very crabby when I know that it’s waiting for me a few hours later! I have come up with three vinaigrettes that are DELICIOUS and low in calories. Use these as either a marinade for your chicken or as a dressing on your salad.

Citrus Vinaigrette
½ cup Orange Juice Concentrate
3 Limes (Juiced)
1 clove Garlic
2 tsp Red Chili Flake
2 Tbsp Sugar
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Black Pepper
½ cup Olive Oil
½ cup Canola Oil
¼ tbsp Chopped Cilantro
In a blender, add first 7 ingredients and blend for 10 seconds. Begin drizzling in oils slowly. Vinaigrette should thicken and coat the back of a spoon. Taste and season if needed. Transfer to a bowl and add chopped cilantro. Refrigerate. Good for 7 days.
Red Pepper Vinaigrette
3 Roasted Red Bell Peppers
2 Tbsp Honey
¼ cup Red Wine Vinegar
Pinch Cayenne
½ cup Canola Oil
¼ tsp Salt
Add first 4 ingredients to a blender. Blend until smooth. Slowly drizzle in oil. Season with salt and stir. Taste for seasoning. Refrigerate. Good for 3 days.
Sherry Vinaigrette
¼ cup Sherry Vinegar
1 clove Garlic
1 Tbsp Chopped Fresh Thyme
1 Tbsp Brown Sugar
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Black Pepper
¾ cup Canola Oil
Add all ingredients, except oil, to a bowl and whisk together. Slowly begin whisking oil into mixture. Taste and adjust seasoning. Refrigerate. Good for 5 days.
