BANG FOR THE BITE
Organic lettuce toppers taste great all over your plate. (Just make sure not to overdress - a salad fashion faux pas.)
COCKTAIL FACT
Et tu, Brutelito? The Caesar salad was invented in Tijuana, Mexico.

Why should we be considered for the year-end best-dressed lists?
The Bite
Just look at our salads. While others are talking about which actress dazzled in Dolce or which socialite stunned in Stella, we're bringing you the skinny on this year's organic salad dressings - outshining the rest like they've gone outta style.The Benefits
- The taste. Fickle as the fashion world may be, our taste buds won't be falling out of love with these dressings anytime soon.
- Better for your health. Biters know that the lower level of pesticide residue found in organics is just plain healthier.
- Better for the earth. Splitting up with synthetic pesticides in favor of more natural options (like building birdhouses to take advantage of insect-eating birds) means better soil quality over time.
Personally Speaking
Jen's current fave mid-afternoon snack: just about anything (including some all-natural dog treats meant for Cricket) with Annie's Goddess dressing.Wanna Try?
- Annie's Naturals Goddess dressing - creamy tahini and lemon dressing with chives and parsley ($4).
- Follow Your Heart Organic Creamy Miso - Heather's reaction? "Oh. My. God." ($4).
- Spectrum Asian Ginger - the flax oil gives you a boost of heart-healthy Omega-3s ($4).
- Newman's Own Organic Tuscan Italian - Paul seems to know his dressing, and the new organic line doesn't disappoint ($4).
- Ideal Bite's Salad Tosser Tip - good ways to ditch bagged lettuce to avoid plastic baggy waste.
- Ideal Bite's Edible Blossoms Tip - prettify your plate with organic flowers.

I'm a salad purist, really. If it can't hold its own with just olive oil and balsamic or lemon and some salt and pepper, in general, I think your salad probably sucks. And for the most part, let's face it, bottled dressings just taste nasty.
No so, the dressings in today's tip. Honestly. That peanut one - when put on cucumbers and grape tomatoes - will make you cry, it's so good.
And the fact that we found these dressings is a very good thing for me, since I am going to go vegan once a week for one of my New Year's Resolutions. Since I even like bloody steaks, wish me luck.
Stay tuned for "Vegan Days" results.
