The One Salad Dressing You Should Stop Using ASAP, According To Experts

Blue Cheese Dressing

According to Taste of Home, blue cheese dressing is one of the worst dressings you could use. One serving of this dressing (around 2 tablespoons), adds in a hefty amount of fat (and saturated fat) and sodium.

With that in mind, if you are choosing to top your salad with blue cheese dressing, you might be getting more than you bargained for--especially if you chose a salad as a healthy meal option.

Mashed explains, "With 150 of its 160 calories derived from fat, blue cheese dressing certainly qualifies as an indulgence."

If you are hoping for a relatively low fat meal, definitely plan on skipping the blue cheese dressing.

On the other hand, you could always try to make your own version of this staple salad dressing. Mashed recommends swapping in some nonfat Greek yogurt to keep this dressing more diet-friendly.
