Need a yummy lo-cal dressing

bethany7687

I'm loving all these salads but I have never liked low fat dressings. They are usually too sweet and the ones without sugar are vinegar based and I find that taste overwhelming. I wish I could just slather my salad with chunky blue cheese dressing...
I need to keep my dressing at around 100 cal. any suggestions?

I have actually quit using dressing altogether. I put all my salad ingredients on a plate, then go at it with a fork and knife until it's just tiny bits. Then each bite is very flavorful without dressing.

I like Newman's Own Light Honey Mustard.. I usually like ranch, but I tried this the other week and it was suprisingly good! 70 cal per 2 TBS.

I like the Wishbone Salad Spritzers.. . .1 calorie per "spray"

I would love to hear too....I love Ranch! and it has soooooooo many calories!

I second the salad spritzers!!! You can spritz away! 25 times = 25 calories

Lemon juice and garlic salt! It's delish!

I enjoy the Kraft Fat Free French dressing.

Try Trader Joe's Champagne Pear Gorgonzola Dressing, or their Light Parmesan Ranch. My favorite go-to one is Girards Champagne Vinegarette.

I love low fat sesame dressing from Newman's Own, and I also love a good balsamic or raspberry vinagrette.

I use low fat cottage cheese or fresh salsa as a salad topper...both are super yummy!!

I really like Kraft's low fat Raspberry Vinagrette. Now, I know you said you weren't a fan of the vinagrette type, but I wasn't either until I tried this one and I actually liked it, so I thought you might want to give it a shot. :-)

I like the Newman's Own low fat Sesame Ginger! You can also do lemonjuice, some dill weed, dijon mustard and some water. LOVE IT!

but i LOVE it.

Kens Steakhouse Dressings. i love the Lite Vidalia Onion. YUMMY! Only 80 cals for 2 tbsp which is plenty. Here is the key to being satisfied with 2 tbsp.... Put your greens in a huge mixing bowl, measure out your 2 tbsp and toss it together well. then plate/bowl it and add your goodies. Its plenty, trust me.

I like creamy dressings. Hidden Valley Light Ranch is really good and only 80 calories. Also Makoto Ginger dressing is really flavorful and also 80 calories. That dressing you will find in the actual veggie section of the supermarket not in the dressing sections.

I like Bragg's Organic Vinegarette. I believe it's 90 cals for 2 Tbsp, but it's really good and not fakey tasting at all.

It is the best thing in which to saute green beans!!!

On all my salads I use balsamic vinegar. It only has 5 calories a tablespoon and its sooo yummy!! If it's too bitter, I found that adding a little splenda helps! Also, sometimes I mince some garlic and some fresh basil into it also! I know my dad uses mustard as a salad dressing, but I think thats gross

A big +1 on the Newman's Own Low Fat Sesame Ginger. 35 calories per 2 tablespoon serving, and quite good.

I sometimes use tomato juice or V8 instead of dressing

My favorite is a vidalia onion and summer tomato dressing...it is usually only available in specialty stores, but I recently found it on Amazon. It is only 25 calories per serving and the primary ingredient is tomatoes...delish!!! It is a bit sweet, though (but I like that).

Ken's lite caesar did the trick. thanks for the suggestions.
