A Summer Salad Dressing the Low-Sugar Way & Giveaway

I received media samples of NECTRESSE Sweetener. All opinions are my own.

For many of us, the anticipation of summer conjures images of grilling outdoors and fresh produce.  But the beginning of the vacation season is not the ideal time to derail your diet with high-calorie dressings. 

This summer, incorporate NECTRESSE™ Natural No Calorie Sweetener into your summer menu to cut back on sugar, calories and guilt.  NECTRESSE, made from monk fruit extract, is perfect for sweetening your favorite beverages, savory sauces and dressings, homemade jams, desserts and so much more.

I made this Raspberry Mustard Vinaigrette, from the Nectresse website, to pour over my salad the other day.  It’s a tangy dressing that goes perfectly with chicken and grilled vegetables too.
