That's funny that you mentioned the full-fat dressings, because my dietician JUST told me yesterday that I should use them rather than the low-fat ones because of the same reasons you've mentioned. She said that if I was concerned about the sugar content in some of the dressings, olive oil and vinegar is great and very natural. I eat almonds for a snack or part of a salad almost everyday, so I agree with you about the benefits of nuts. They're also very convenient to have in the car when those hunger pangs strike!
