Fresh lemon juice is good too - most places have lemon wedges for
drinks or for squeezing on fish or something. My favourite fatfree
French dressing (recipe below) is based on lemon juice. Or if you want
to get fancy, you could get a tomato juice from the bar as an aperitif
(watch out as some brands contain Worcestershire sauce, which usually
contains anchovies), save a few tablespoons from the bottom of the
bottle and mix in a bit of mustard with that to go with your salad.

2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp white wine vinegar

Put it all in a screw-top jar and shake well. Keep it in the fridge
and shake before serving.
