Dont Leave the Dressing On the Side Here is how to make sure you are getting the most from your salad dressing. Salad dressings made with canola oil and/or olive oil—which contain healthy monounsaturated fats—aid in the absorption of a garden salad’s nutritious antioxidants, such as lutein, lycopene, beta-carotene and zeaxanthin. Fat-free dressings have fewer calories, but they don’t help with the absorption of essential vitamins and nutrients. If you think salad is only a side dish, why not try a very satisfying salad as a main meal?
