    Title: Seven Seas Free Viva Italian Fat Free Dressing
    Categories: Copycat, Salad dress
    Yield: 1 -1/2 cups

    1 1/3 c Water
    1 1/2 tb Granulated sugar
    2 ts Corn starch
    1 ts Salt
    1/2 ts Dried minced onion
    1/2 ts Dried minced garlic
    1/2 ts Red bell pepper;
    - finely minced
    1/2 ts Italian seasoning
    1/4 ts Gelatin

    Seven Seas dressings were first introduced by Anderson Clayton Foods
    back in 1964, when the trend toward fat-free foods was in its
    infancy. Kraft Foods later picked up the brand, and Seven Seas today
    ranks number four in sales of salad dressings in the United States.
    Here's our special technique to creating a delicious clone of Seven
    Seas spice-filled fat-free Italian dressing straight out of the
    latest TSR low-fat cookbook, using a secret combination of water,
    corn starch, and gelatin where the fat used to be.

    Combine water, sugar, corn starch, salt, onion, garlic, bell pepper,
    Italian seasoning, and gelatin in a small saucepan. Whisk to dissolve
    corn starch, then set pan over medium/low heat.

    Heat mixture until boiling, stirring often. When mixture begins to
    boil, cook for 1 additional minute, stirring constantly, then remove
    from heat.

    Add vinegar and dry buttermilk to saucepan and stir. Transfer
    dressing to a covered container and refrigerate--preferably
    overnight--before serving.
