Balsamic Vinegar + Pomegranate Mist For Salads! Yum!

I have been eating soup and salad almost daily since my diagnosis. It is a great way to get most of my vegetable servings in. I have loved experimenting with my salads, the goal always to have lots of different colors going on for maximum health benefits.

I have been on the lookout for the perfect salad dressing, and have not been too happy. There are so many in the grocery store that have high fructose corn syrup in them, or bad oils that I do not want cloggin’ up my body. The non-fat versions crank up the sugar, in an effort to add the taste back in that is missing, once fat is removed. The few that I did find that were healthy enough, lacked in the taste department.

Because of all this…I AM SUPER EXCITED ABOUT MY NEW FIND!!

Hello

Gourme’ Mist!!

I was at my local health food store and a cool- looking mist bottle among their salad dressings caught me eye. It said “Balsamic Vinegar + Pomegranate.“ I love both flavors. I looked at the ingredient list and guess what is in it??

~100% Barrel Aged Balsamic Vinegar from Medena, Italy
~Pomegranate Juice

Just 2 ingredients! Isn’t that a beautiful thing?? Another beautiful thing is that each bottle contains 384 servings! They are super fun to use–pump 5 times and then spray.

The mist bottle is very cool. So very convenient. I looked it up on Amazon.com to see if I could get it any cheaper, and if it comes in any other flavors. It does. They have just plain Balsamic, Balsamic and Raspberry, Olive Oil Mists, ect. I noticed they also come in a half size, which would be perfect to throw in your purse to use on the go.

I cut some pepper strips and broccoli florets for a snack, and had a whole bunch of fun spraying them. It is really, really tasty– so much flavor! I plan on drizzling my salads with some olive oil, then giving them a mist. Simple and healthy.

It is a bit pricey- I paid 7.99 for it- but the amount of servings in a bottle helps justify that, plus I plan on re-using the bottle by filling it up with olive oil or my own balsamic vinegar. I’ll make up for the pomegranate part by sprinkling my salads with pomegranate seeds.

If you wanted to save money, you could skip the Gourme’ Mist all together and just purchase a spray mist bottle like this one, then fill it with your own Balsamic Vinegar.
