Dress to Impress Top your salad of crunchy greens and other colorful veggies with a healthful homemade dressing. Mealtime.org replaces most of the oil with a nutritious, puréed canned fruit or veggie for a dressing that is virtually fat-free and provides an extra dose of fruits or veggies. Hint: You can also use these dressings as marinades and dipping sauces! We’re Listening! You told us you’d like more recipes, but fewer e-mails in your inbox. So beginning in June, CANnection will feature an updated format and become a monthly e-mail. In the meantime, you can always access hundreds of easy and nutritious recipes at Mealtime.org.   Green Salad with Posole and Creamy Cilantro-Lime Vinaigrette Toss crisp lettuce and other veggies with a velvety vinaigrette made with fiber- and protein-rich creamy cannellini beans, chilies, lime, cilantro and hot-pepper sauce.
