Fat Free Italian Dressing

I tweaked our favorite Italian Dressing recipe so it was healthier and more WW friendly. The original recipe (which is Homemade Italian Salad Dressing) is fantastic, but it is 2 points plus per Tablespoon. This version is 1 point plus for the WHOLE recipe! We use it on salads, Italian subs, pasta, chicken and even as a dip for bread. You can use red or white wine vinegar. I actually prefer the taste of the red, but it looks more like Italian dressing if you use the white.
