<p>This simple summer salad is probably one of my favorite salad recipes ever. I just adore the taste combination of sweet tomatoes and basil with the tang of balsamic vinegar and the creaminess of the mozzarella cheese. Plus, it&#8217;s an incredibly fast &#038; easy dish to make, and it&#8217;s pretty diet friendly. It&#8217;s also a great way to get some vitamins, calcium and antioxidants into your diet! And each serving has just a 3 Point Total (5 Point Total for two servings). So, while you can&#8217;t go hog wild and eat the whole thing, it&#8217;s still a healthy, diet-friendly salad to enjoy in controlled portions. This tasty tomato, basil, and mozzarella salad makes a great healthy side dish recipe to serve along with a hearty sandwich or healthy grilled chicken. Though, it&#8217;s such a versatile recipe, you can really serve this with just about any meal. It also makes a great appetizer recipe! </p>

<p>I am seriously obsessed with Guacamole Recipes. I don&#8217;t need tortilla chips, veggies or anything to even dip in it&#8230;just gimme a spoon, and I&#8217;ll go to town on it. Now, even though guacamole is really nutritious, given that the main ingredient is the nutrient rich avocado, it&#8217;s still loaded with calories and fat (even though that&#8217;s the healthy, monounsaturated fat), making it higher in Weight Watchers Points than most all other fruits. So, how&#8217;s a Weight Watcher supposed to get her guacamole fix without breaking her Points bank? By trying this amazing, Low Calorie Guacamole Recipe of course! The key to rockin&#8217; this much loved dip recipe is to find ways to bulk it up with other low calorie ingredients, and (and don&#8217;t get scared reading this part) to substitute some of the avocado quantity with peas. It may sound odd, but you really can&#8217;t tell! And of course, you will still use some avocado in it, but by adding in some low Point peas, we are able to add quantity and volume without adding a lot more calories and therefore keeping the Points value low. This guacamole dip recipe is perfectly delicious when served with some baked tortilla chips or veggies for dipping. Put it on tacos, sandwiches or try it on top of my <a href="http://www.laaloosh.com/2009/01/19/weight-watchers-chicken-taco-salad-recipe-6/" title="Chicken Taco Salad Recipe">Chicken Taco Salad Recipe</a>! There are many, many ways to enjoy this favorite Mexican recipe. If you love your guac, and can&#8217;t bear eliminating it from your meal plan, give this delicious Weight Watchers Guacamole Recipe a try!</p>
<p><strong>Oh! I wanted to give a special shout out to the COWS (Considerate Outstanding Working Sisters) from North Adams Elementary in Seaman, OH ,who I hear have started their own Biggest Loser Diet Plan and are regular readers of my blog! Thanks for the support, ladies and good luck!!!</strong></p>

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.<br />

Place egg substitute in a shallow dish. Place Fiber One crumbs in a separate shallow dish, and mix in salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Dip stuffed jalapeno halves into egg substitute and then roll in Fiber One crumbs to coat. Then wrap one slice of bacon around popper, similar to how it appears in this photo: </p>
