LOW CALORIE TOMATO HERB SALAD DRESSING

Low Calorie Tomato Herb Salad Dressing image

So easy, so good, and low calorie, too! I use this when good tomatoes are hard to find; this is one of my favorite salad dressings. This came from the 1971 edition of Better Homes and Garden Cookbook, but has not appeared in more recent editions. It adds a nice herby zip to a simple salad. Note that regular Worcestershire sauce has anchovies in it, as pointed out by Kumquat the cat's friend, but there are vegetarian versions available.
