Q: I eat a lot of salads. Can you show me how to make a dressing that's low calorie, but flavorful? A: (Tim Harlan, M.D., aka "Dr. Gourmet") All of the fat and calories in salad come from the dressing. So you need to be careful of the kind you use. Here's a low-fat version of a classic Caesar. Ingredients: 2 cloves garlic (minced)
2 anchovy fillets
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
2 tablespoons honey
1-1/2 ounces parmesan cheese (grated)
1/2 cup nonfat plain yogurt
3 heads romaine lettuce (for entree size)
1 cup low-fat croutons
1/4 lb. shrimp (peeled, deveined and grilled)
- Place the garlic, anchovies, pepper, lemon juice, mustard, honey, parmesan cheese and yogurt in a blender and process until smooth. Chill.
- Rinse lettuce and drain. Cut crosswise and place in refrigerator until needed.
- Toss dressing together with the romaine lettuce and croutons.
- Top salad with shrimp.

Q: Does sweetened cranberry juice have any of the same benefits as real cranberries? A: The cranberry has an antibacterial property that keeps bacteria from adhering to the walls of the bladder. Look for a drink that has more than 27% cranberry juice for the greatest benefit.
Q: What is the shelf life of baking chocolate?
A: Almost forever. The key is to keep it between 60-70 degrees in an airtight container. If you see a frosty appearance, it's not a concern. It's not mold, it's called the "bloom" by professionals, and it simply means that the cocoa butter has risen to the top of the chocolate. It shouldn't affect the taste of the chocolate.
