    Bolthouse yogurt dressings 2 tablespoons is 45 calories, my favorite is the honey mustard


    I agree with the above! I love salads so I eat them just about every day for lunch. I just discovered the Bolthouse Ceasar Parmigiano Yogurt Dressing and it taste soooo good! No nasty after taste like some of the fat-free or low fat dressings have. The ceasar parmigiano flavor has 45 calories and 3 grams of fat for 2 tablespoons. I am looking forward to trying the other flavors as well. I found them in the refridgerated produce section at Walmart.

    I've had good luck with the Newman's Own light dressings. Intense flavors and none of that funny aftertaste you get with some low-fat dressings. I'm a big fan of the Asian Sesame, but the variations on Italian aren't bad. I keep a bottle around since I eat tons of salad, but usually I just make my own with oil, vinegar or citrus juice and various spices. I use .5 TB on a good-sized side salad, 1 TB on a huge meal salad, so it's not a big deal.

    Actually, of the Newman's Own dressings we've tried have been delish!! I generally make my own. Vinegars keep for ages on the shelf and are relatively cheap so have a variety of those at hand and add to a little olive oil with some herbs and voila!

    An old weightwatcher's trick for eating a little dressing is to dip the fork into the dressing and then fill the fork with the salad. You'd be amazed how you will taste the dressing in every bite but eat very little dressing all told. This trick predates those salad dressing spray bottles and is free!

    I have had really good luck with the Walden Farms Calorie Free dressings (yes, 2 Tbl is 0 calories, just some sodium). They have a sugar free version too but I like the calorie free ones. Their Bleu Cheese, Creamy Bacon, and Honey Dijon are my personal favorites.

    Very healthy and completely natural ones can be homemade and it's probably cheaper ! Use lemon or lime juice for something really simple and maybe some seasonings (not salt or pepper).
    Blend avocado with some Lemon juice and maybe nutritional yeast. Or just use blended fruits for a sweet dressing if you're in the mood.
    Boil cauliflower until it's almost falling apart and mushy and blend it wish water and some spices and it's really creamy idk if that would be a good salad dressing but cauliflower doesn't have much taste so it's really versatile and you can add whatever you want. Even like the packet of ranch flavor and it'd be super low fat but I wouldn't do it cuz it's probably high in sodium but it's better than regular ranch!

    I love Bolthouse dressings! I buy mine at Walmart.
    My favourites are Salsa Ranch and Classic Ranch but Honey Mustard is definitely good, too.

    All of the Bolthouse comments are point on. I have tried the yogurt ranch and parmesan flavors. Very good and easy to find!

    I just use 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and toss well-yum!
    Sometimes I add a little chopped feta and pitted calamata olives for extra flavor.
