Salad - balsamic vinegar in many varieties
but not vinegarette
that has oil!
Yes bad for two reasons, it will not be beneficial to weight loss because of it 99% fat content, also it is a processed product.
Secondly, it irritates the linings of the blood vessels specifically the endothelium lining, our bodies natural response to this irritation is to have plaque act as band-aid to heal it, but it in fact doesn't plaque once attached begets more plaque.
That is the beginning of clogged blood vessels, it may take 10 years but most (NOT ALL) may develop coronary/stroke issues weather they know it or not.
The reality is that oils are extremely low in terms of nutritive value. They contain no fiber, no minerals and are 100% fat calories. Both the mono unsaturated and saturated fat contained in oils is harmful to the endothelium, the innermost lining of the artery, and that injury is the gateway to vascular disease. It doesn't matter whether it's olive oil, corn oil, coconut oil, canola oil, or any other kind. Avoid ALL oil.

Did you know sugar has less calories!
With over 4,000 calories per pound, olive oil is far more calorie dense than even pure refined sugar, which has 1,725 calories per pound. Because of its extremely high calorie density, adding olive oil to any food or meal will dramatically increase its calorie density.
