    High quality flavored vinegar and balsamic are great & very low in cals. You don't have to use olive oil with them. Also try adding more than lettuce to your salad. And try different kinds of lettuce.
    Most of us want our food to taste good! We just have different opinions of what's good. I have a lot of salad but never feel like a rabbit.

    Balsamic vinegar is pretty good on its own. You can add a much smaller amount of oil to it as well, if desired... the spray cans work well for that (you can find ones with olive oil now).

    If I haven't got any dressing or the calories for it, I just use lemon or lime juice.

    Add herbs, they have a lovely strong taste.
    I make a dressing with olive oil, white wine vinegar and a touch of mustard, which is technically French dressing, but I alter the quantities to suit myself. Just half a teaspoon on a side salad well tossed will add flavour.

    I just use balsamic vinegar on my salad. Hardly any calories at all

    My go-to salad dressing is Newman's Own Lite Balsamic. It's 45 calories for 2 TBSP and does not taste "lite" by any means. I also never need the full 2 TBSP on a small-ish plated tossed salad.
