Story

Depending on the diet you're on, add more turkey or other protein, choose low fat cheese, or add more vegetables. If beans are a part of your diet, add a handful of navy beans or kidney beans to the salad.
Of course, you can buy a vinaigrette to use as the dressing, but this homemade version is so inexpensive AND you can tweak the ingredients. You'll also find some vinaigrette you buy has added sugar. So, if you just keep red wine vinegar on hand in your pantry, you'll most likely always have the ingredients you need to whip up this dressing.
