Vinegar

This potent flavor enhancer adds zing to meals for minimal calories. For a slimming, low-salt dressing that won’t bring on the bloat, top your salad with unlimited vinegar and 1 or 2 dashes of olive oil. And don’t stop with greens. Drizzle rich balsamic over a tray of roasted veggies to complement their sweet, nutty taste profile, feature fruit-flavored vinegars (like raspberry and fig) in low-cal marinades for chicken or tofu, and brighten up winter soups by adding a splash of red wine vinegar just before serving.
