    I love ranch dressing, but not from the bottle; yuck. If you buy hidden valley ranch in a packet (or bulk at Costco) you can use fat free milk and light mayonnaise and it comes out to 45 calls per tbsp. It's still very tasty

    Depending on the type of salad I like straight balsamic vinegar, yogurt mixed with seasonings and some lemon juice to make a 'ranch,' or salsa and yogurt for taco salad.

    I make Vietnamese salad dressing. It is very low in calories and big in taste. Made with fish sauce, a bit of brown sugar, lime juice and water. It is high in sodium but I use such a small amount it isn't a problem with my drinking a gallon of water each day.

    Use the larger quantity of buttermilk and smaller quantity of mayo and sour cream in ranch dressing. Lower calorie than classic vinaigrette which typically is 1 part vinegar or lemon to 3-4 parts olive oil.

    Another lower calorie dressing I like is 1 part balsamic vinegar, 1 part soy sauce, 1 part nut oil (hazelnut, walnut or sesame all work well).

    I just made a dressing I saw on pinterest and love it. It's the Hidden Valley dry dressing/seasoning mix, 1 3/4c buttermilk, 1/2 light mayo. I also sometimes add a little red wine vinegar to it at time of serving.
