Answer 3

Lighthouse makes an organic salad dressing called Raspberry Lime Vinegarette that sounds like it would be good on chicken, fish or shrimp. I've been dying to try it. If it sounds good to you, you can find it in your local produce department's refrigerated section. You can probably kick it up a notch by adding some crushed black pepper and/or chili powder.
