Cooking with OPA!
Are you looking to enhance your food with some healthy flavors? I know I am, so I was thrilled when I had the chance to test out OPA! by Litehouse Foods. As the first Greek-inspired yogurt dressing on the market, OPA by Litehouse Greek Style Yogurt Dressings are made fresh with high-quality ingredients free of trans fat, MSG, and artificial preservatives. Also, gluten-free with fewer calories and more protein, this is the perfectly tempting topping to jazz up a salad.
This includes a line of high-quality dressings in delicious flavors like Blue Cheese, Ranch, Caesar, and Feta Dill. Personally, I loved that they come in glass jars (easy to recycle!) that delivers a rich taste. I use them on everything from salads to pastas to dips for entertaining.
Check out this delicious recipe for a fun way to enhance your food in 2014.
