pepper, shredded lettuce, chopped tomato and top with alfalfa sprouts.
Spoon on fat-free dressing. Yield: 2 servings.

Mayo reduced the fat and calories by: 1) halving the amount of meat but
doubling it's volume by used shaved or thinly sliced cold cuts. 2) halving
the amount of dressing, and 3) substituting a non-fat version of a food:
compare 99 cal (11g fat) for mayonnaise; 50 cal (5g fat) for lowfat
mayonnaise; and 10 cal (0g fat) for fat-free mayonnaise.
