Light French Dressing

Light French Dressing is a sweet-tangy salad dressing commonly used in Western cuisine for salads and cold dishes. It is made to be lighter than regular French dressing but still contains added sugars — about 16.9g per 100g. While convenient and flavorful, it is a highly processed condiment that is not very nutrient-dense; it does contribute some fats and small amounts of micronutrients and omega-3s, but for a more wholesome option consider an oil-and-vinegar based vinaigrette or a yogurt-based dressing.
