This delicious tangy Thai Cucumber Salad Recipe is a fabulous, 0 Points Total dish that’s super easy to make, yet is a unique substitute for traditional salads. It’s a tasty side dish recipe that was given to me by another Weight Watchers member, and I’m so glad I gave it a try! All the ingredients have 0 Weight Watchers Points, so each serving would have to be pretty big in order to rack up any Points. This can be eaten alone as a salad, or makes a wonderful garnish or topping for healthy meat recipes. If you want a good low calorie salad to add to your Weight Watchers Salad Recipes repertoire, this is one to consider!

Ok, so I know it’s been a while since I last posted, but my husband and I just moved, and that was a LOT of work. And doing that while trying to take care of a 6 month old was incredibly time consuming. So posting (or doing anything else for that matter) was out of the question.

Anyway, excuses aside, I’m doing my best to get back on track with a tasty and healthy salad dressing recipe that is loaded with antioxidants and yet low in Weight Watchers Points! Our friends over at POM Wonderful sent us some samples of their fabulously delicious POM juice to try out. The juice by itself is really really yummy, but a small, 8oz bottle of it is about 4 Weight Watchers Points. A bit too many Points to spend on a beverage, in my opinion. So, I decided to experiment with it, and I found lots of ways to incorporate POM Juice into some Weight Watchers Recipes, while still keeping the recipes low in Points. Pomegranate Juice is so incredibly good for you – it’s health benefits are endless. And it tastes pretty amazing too! POM Juice is actually grown and manufactured in California where it’s hand-picked and squeezed into bottles that are even manufactured by POM too. Other brands are made with juice from Iran and Turkey, and were shown to contain added sugar, colorants and other low-grade filler juices, despite being labeled as “100% Pomegranate Juice”.

With that being said, the benefits that Pomegranate Juice has to offer are countless — cardiovascular health, prostate health, erectile function….and the list goes on. It’s super high antioxidant potency is a major benefit too. So finding ways to add some POM Juice into your diet is a great idea! And this delicious, low calorie vinaigrette recipe is a great way to get started!

Thanks to our friends over at POM Wonderful for introducing us to the rockin’ taste of fresh POM Juice!!

POM Vinaigrette Dressing Recipe

Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate
Juice
- 1/3 cup arils from 1 large POM Wonderful
Pomegranate (optional)
- 1/4 cup olive or vegetable oil
– 1/3 cup red or white wine vinegar
– 2 tablespoons grated red or brown onion
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar, or to taste
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Directions:
Score 1 fresh pomegranate and place in a bowl of water. Break open the pomegranate underwater to free the arils (seed sacs). The arils will sink to the bottom of the bowl and the membrane will float to the top. Sieve and put the arils in a separate bowl. Reserve 1/3 cup of the arils from fruit and set aside. (Refrigerate or freeze remaining arils for another use.) In a screw-top jar or plastic container with tight-fitting lid, combine juice, the 1/3 cup arils and remaining dressing ingredients. Cover and shake well. Set aside or refrigerate for up to 2 days before serving.

On one of my trips to the Middle East, I discovered the amazing concept of salads that don’t involve lettuce. They are so different from the American concept of traditional salads, and they are WAY healthier and yummier! Consisting of a vast variety of different vegetables, Middle Eastern Salads are a real treat to the palate and to the waistline! One of my favorites, is this Turkish Salad Recipe. It is LOADED with fabulous flavor, but also with fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. If you are looking for delicious and healthy weight watcher salad recipes, you must give this Turkish Salad a try! With just a 3 point value for half of the recipe, this low calorie salad recipe is a great way to get in your vegetable servings and have a delicious salad that will actually fill you up, because the serving size is huge!!! Though this isn’t an official Weight Watchers Salad Recipe, it’s still a great dish for anyone watching their weight or trying to eat healthier. It also makes a wonderful side dish to serve with just about any chicken, fish or beef meal. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
- 1 large onion
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 green bell pepper
- 2 red bell peppers
- 2 large tomatoes
- 3 Tbsp. sliced or pitted, chopped green olives
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp. black pepper
- 1 bay leaf
- 4 Tbsp. tomato paste
- 2 Tbsp. parley or coriander leaf
- Tabasco or other hot sauce to taste

Directions:
Peel and dice the onions. Fry them in the olive oil till golden: use a medium-sized pan or a large frying pan. Remove the stem, seeds and white inner membrane from all the peppers. Chop into dice. Add them to the onions. Cover the pan and cook the vegetables till the peppers are soft – about 8 minutes. Stir once or twice. Dice the tomatoes. If necessary, pit and slice the olives. Add all of these to the pan. Add the bay leaf, black pepper, cumin, salt, and tomato paste. If you like, add Tabasco or chili of choice. Cover the pan again and cook the vegetables over a medium flame for about 15 minutes. Some want the vegetables to retain their individual forms and tastes (I do). Others like to blend their Turkish Salad and serve it as a dip. This is totally up to you. For an aesthetic touch, chop the parsley and sprinkle it over the salad. Serve hot or cold.

1 Weight Watchers Point Non-Dairy Milk Drink

This fabulous low calorie soy milk is nothing other than the ultra fabulous Almond Breeze Unsweetened Vanilla! It’s a non-dairy beverage made from real almonds, all natural, smooth and creamy with a hint of almonds. It has a great taste without the thin, chalky after taste of rice and soy milk. Almond Breeze even won the 2004 Best Taste Award from the prestigious American Culinary Institute (ACI). The Vanilla flavoring gives it a nicer taste than the original, but it’s still unsweetened, so you are saving a lot of calories. Now, I’m not saying that I’d pour a big glass of this and drink it as milk, but it makes an excellent substitute for fat free milk in cereal, smoothies and any Weight Watchers recipes that call for milk. You can actually have 2 servings of this and STILL have it just be 1 Weight Watcher Point!! Gotta love it. This product is a MUST try!
NOTE: just make sure to get the Unsweetened Vanilla kind, as the other flavors have more calories.
