    Half an avocado and a couple of tablespoons of salsa. I have come to find that this is my most favorite way to eat a salad. Proper guacamole is good, too, but I usually just slice up an avo and top with salsa.

    I rarely use recipes, but for salad dressings I use

    olive oil
    some type of mustard
    some type of vinegar, pickle juice and/or hot sauce
    minced garlic
    spices

    If I want it creamy I'll add a little dollop of mayo

    Greek yogurt mixed with salsa is amazing

    Greek yogurt, buttermilk, fresh herbs, spring onions, salt and pepper

    Homemade vinaigrette light on the oil

    Tahini and lemon juice

    Try to keep dressing calories between 50-75.

    Love the bolthouse dressings so many flavors

    I usually drizzle olive oil and basalmic on my salad, but recently tried the Bolthouse Cilantro Avacado Greek Yogurt dressing. It's legit and only 40 calories.

    I eat lots of salad. I generally like it, but I need some new ideas for dressings. I like blue cheese, but I need some other options. I am willing to make my own at home if you have a favorite recipe. Thank you.

    Green Goddess is amazing! They have a green goddess salad at Panera bread that I eat daily if you would like to try it first

    I prefer my own vinaigrette made with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic and fresh herbs from my garden. I vary it by adding different herbs, mustard or buttermilk.

    I do that except I don't have a garden

    But anyway bacon ranch

    Just ignore typical vinaigrette oil ratios. It needs SOME oil, it doesn't always need much. My go-to's:
    KB's balsamic
    1T evoo
    1T balsamic
    1t dijon
    1t honey
    S&P
    In a jar, shake like mad

    Orange vinaigrette
    1T evoo
    2T mandarin or orange juice (small single-user cups perfect, in water)
    1T red wine vinegar
    1 garlic clove, minced
    1t honey
    S&P

    Cottage cheese mixed with a packet of dry dressing mix.

    I love this idea, Heather. I am trying to eat more cottage cheese, so this will make it easy.

    I do this, and add a bit of mayo, and it makes a fantastic dip for veggies!

    I dont like the "chunks" in cottage cheese so I mix it with a hand blender. It makes a great dip or sandwhich/wrap spread.

    any dressing by Boathouse Farms--creamy without the calories, or 1 tablespoon of hummus loosened up with a little fresh lemon juice. if the salad has avocado on it then I don't do dressing

    Southwest dressing..the spicy one.. and egg salad. If I want to avoid the carbs, I'll boil two eggs, chop em up, at a dash of mayo and mustard with a touch of relish and diced jalapeño, then mix it into my salad. Lots of flavor for a fraction of the carbs.

    Not the most low cal. It Lighthouse blue cheese. A little goes a long way, but it still adds up.

    You're right on with the "it still adds up" comment. Lighthouse blue cheese is my go to. Or it was until I started paying more attention to the portion size.

    Olive oil + Balsamic

    or

    Homemade Caesar Dressing (which I save my calories for sometimes as it is sooo good!)

    Yup, I do olive oil and aged balsamic vinegar. Usually 1 teaspoon of each with some dried herbs for 60 cal total. It's enough to coat a massive amount of greens.

    Blue cheese is my favorite and sometimes I still work it into my calories and sodium, but lately I've been eating Panera at Home's poppyseed.

    Any kind of honey mustard dressing. Regular, fat free, light, cheap, expensive, or otherwise...they all pretty much taste the same to me.

    I am more likely to just use a little bit of sour cream and a large dollop of salsa verde and make every salad magically Tex Mex that way ;-)
