Splenda 

I love the sweetness of Splenda without all the added calories of regular sugar. I am making some of the delicious recipes on their website and replacing the sugar in our diet with the goodness of Splenda sweetener. Here is a recipe below from http://recipes.splenda.com/recipes/1397335-Baby-Spinach-n-Bacon-Salad that I will be making for dinner tonight.

Baby Spinach ’n Bacon Salad
Baby spinach leaves are wilted in a warm bacon vinaigrette dressing. Perfect for any time of year.

Serves: 4
Prep Time: 15 Minutes
Total Time: 15 Minutes

INGREDIENTS
1 (7 ounce) bag baby spinach greens*
1/2 cup fat free salad croutons
Dressing
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener, Granulated
5 slices turkey bacon
1/4 cup chopped red onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
DIRECTIONS
Place spinach greens in a large mixing bowl. Remove any undesirable leaves or large stems. Add croutons. Set aside.
Make dressing. Blend together vinegar, water, mustard and SPLENDA® Granulated Sweetener in a small mixing bowl. Set aside.
Finely slice bacon into small strips. Place in a medium saucepan and fry over medium-high heat until crispy (approx. 3-4 minutes).
Add onion and garlic and cook over medium-high heat 1-2 minutes.
Add vinegar mixture and simmer 1-2 minutes. Pour over spinach and croutons. Toss well. Serve immediately.
NOTE
Regular fresh spinach may be used in place of baby spinach but will result in a less delicate salad.
