I buy my salad dressings from the produce departments. They have the bolthouse dressings, the lighthouse dressings, and the panera dressings.They are the best tasting and very low calorie, usually about 60 calories per two tbls.

OPA - It is a greek yogurt based dressing. The Kalamata Feta is really good. Also 60 calories/2Tbls.1

OPA is really good, second that. I use cottage cheese, too, not a dressing but it mixes nicely and low cal0

I third the Opa dressings. The ranch is my favourite.0

I make a very easy one. Don't even measure, just add to greens.
White Balsamic from Trader Joe's, Dijon mustard & EVOO, pinch of salt & pepper. Just test amounts you like. I use a lot more balsamic then oil. Hope you enjoy2 -
My favorite dressings are Marie's sesame ginger dressing, and Marie's cole slaw yogurt dressing. Not that they are super low calorie at all, but they have high flavor concentrated enough to compensate for using lesser quantity on my salads. That is the opposite for many 'low fat' dressings that for my tastes are gawdawful and cause me to skip salads all together rather than bother with non-tasty veggies. I'd always rather have a moderate amount real food with real flavor over non-fat, no-sugar stuffs with Frankenstein flavors & ingredients.0

Salsa! Makes a great flavorful low calorie no fat dressing. Especially with black beans, feta cheese, tomatoes, banana peppers, chick peas and bell peppers on the salad:)2

I make my own! Sometimes i bottle a lot at once but usually i just make enough for what i am eating. Vinegar (apple cider or red) and lemon juice and cracked black pepper are the basics. I add crushed garlic and cayenne pepper or tabasco if i have them. I love it and its much healthier!1

I like very simple dressing on my salad ... olive oil and cider vinegar ... I just dribble 1 T of oil over the top of the salad, then dribble on 1-1/2 T of vinegar over the oil. A sprinkle of sea salt and a couple of grinds of black pepper. .... I toss it about a bit with the fork as I'm eating it, and always have some left in the bottom of the bowl ... and I make a big salad.0

I like the Walden Farms sugar-free dressings, only 5 calories per tbsp. So far I like the Italian, Balsamic Vinaigrette, Red Raspberry Vinaigrette, and just bought the 1000 Island (haven't tried it yet). They are really quite good.2

Walden Farms also has calorie free dressings. I tried the bacon ranch, it is so-so, I will have to try the ^^^0

Opa Blue Cheese...that stuff is delicious.0

if you're looking for healthy, which you probably are, ones that you can see through tend to be better for you. stay away from creamy dressings as best as you can! hope I helped!0
