For all the unheathly things in my diet (White Chocolate Chunk Cookies) there are a few shining moments when my heart and waistline scream “Thank You!”
Case in point: When at the office, I typically grab a salad for lunch. Nothing fancy, just some romaine with onions, beans, maybe a protien (chicken or tuna) and no dressing. Everytime I get a salad the checkout lady says:
“No Dressing?” (as if I forgot the first 20 times)
Me: “Nope – don’t need it”
Her: “What you mean?”
Me: “I have some hot sauce to put on it”
Her: “Hot sauce on salad? Man there must be something wrong with you”
Me: “Probably, but you should try it out”
So as I was saying, this same converstion has gone on for weeks, until yesterday. I finally brought her a bottle of my preferred salad hot sauce: Marie Sharp’s Belizean Heat. She called me up less then an hour later and bought a case of it. She’s going to be running it as a special for the salad bar. Hot sauce on salad isn’t such a crazy idea after all.
Hot sauce on your salad is great for a number of reasons:
#1 Your eating vegetables, why add the fatty dressings to them? Hot sauces typically have 0 calories and 0 fat.
#2 Hot sauce will make you eat less (if it’s hot enough)
#3 Hot sauce will burn more calories (as if eating ruffage wasn’t enough)
#4 Keeps your cubicle neighbor away from your food.
But for all the pros to eating hot sauce on salad, there is one major con:
– You’ve consumed a bunch of hot sauce and vegetables. Count on spending 3pm to 4pm in the crapper.
