    Bolthouse Farms makes amazing yogurt salad dressings. My favorites are the chunky blue cheese and salsa ranch :flowerforyou:

    I like Renee's Sweet Onion dressing the best, followed by Renee's Asian Sesame.
    In general, I find the dressings in the refrigerated section of the supermarket way better than that ones in the salad dressing aisle.

    Mmm you were so right… I never thought it could make such a difference in salad dressing! But the refrigerated kind is definitely, by far, more yummy! I went with a Greek Salad dressing from Marzetti

    For the minimal amount of salad dressing I use, it's worth it to just have what I like and not worry about the calorie or fat contents in it. I like to enjoy my foods so trying to cut things that I like to save a few calories just isn't worth it.

    I took a bit of your advise(: Went with something i knew i'd enjoy. Greek dressing(:

    i just found Marzetti sweet and sour (with celery seeds) fat free. 45 calories per 2 tbsp. and I like the taste. shur-fine non fat italian is tasty too.. same amt of calories and I can cut this with more vinegar to stretch it..

    I usually make my own olive oil and balsamic or olive oil vinaigrette. I use the Bolthouse Farms yogurt based blue cheese and ranch varieties if I want a creamy dressing or for dips.

    Ken's Light Options Sweet Vidalia Onion is a good one!

    And we love Kraft dressings in our house; they are often buy 1 get 1 free and we have tried a bunch. The ones that go quick in our house are: Green Goddess, Catalina Tangy Bacon, Italian Roasted Red Pepper with Parmesan, Italian Zesty, Ranch Peppercorn, Italian Tuscan House, Vinagrette Sun Dried Tomato, and Lite Toasted Sesame Asian

    Regular Ranch has to be Hidden Valley

    99% of the time I make my own. 2 parts acid to 1 part olive oil...for acids I use some combo of (often flavored) white or red balsamic vinegars, red wine or rice vinegars, lemon juice, mustard, etc., then I season however I like with salt, pepper, herbs, and spices. Just depends on what goes with the rest of the flavors in my salad. Or I make my own ranch (low fat buttermilk, reduced fat mayo and sour cream OR fat free greek yogurt, splash of white vinegar, pressed garlic, fresh dill, parsley, and chives, and then salt and pepper - basically all to taste, depending on what flavors you like and how thick you want it). Sometimes I'll mix it with salsa, too. Swap out the garlic/herbs for blue cheese and you've got blue cheese dressing, too.

    If I don't have time or I'm looking for a specific flavor, I love the Ken's Lite Poppyseed dressing, the (new-ish) light Olive Garden dressing, Marie's light chunky blue cheese and light Hidden Valley Buttermilk Ranch.

    I use balsamic vinegar and I put some oregano in it just for a different flavor. Oh and i buy the Chicken of the Sea Premium Pink Salmon and put that in it too, it is only 70 calories for the package and it is really good.
