Salad Sauces

Live a Little Gourmet Foods of Oakland packages its salad dressings in tub-like containers for easy storage in the fridge. The preservative-free dressings have a homemade flavor. We liked the Real Caesar and Very Blue Cheese dressings. For calorie-counters, there is also a light version of the Caesar dressing. Other dressings are mango lime, bold balsamic vinaigrette and ginger sesame.

10-ounce tub salad dressing, $5.99, from select Ralphs and Bristol Farms stores.
