Olive oil and vinegar, olive oil and lime juice, or salsa.

All of the eating right salad dressings from Safeway/Giant are fairly low calorie. I use the yogurt based ranch on salads, the caramelized onion and poppyseed on salads with fruit, and the roasted red pepper garlic vinagrette as a dressing and marinade.

Also, the night before squeeze some lemon juice, garlic, red pepper and oregano into a container and let it sit. Amazing with greek salads and others that require only a bit of flavor. and its almost calorie free!

Sometimes I'll use one of those 1cal per spray spritzers. Occasionally I'll use Ken's light Ranch, but I do this mainly when my "Salad" is more along the lines of a raw veggie plate (more broccoli, zucchini, carrots, etc...less or no lettuce).

Most of the time now, though, I dont use any actual dressing. Frequently I'll just use some salt and pepper, which brings out some of the moisture in the lettuce and adds flavor without the added calories. This is particularly good when combined with tomatoes....so I make some homemade pico (tomato, cilantro, red onion, jalepeno & a touch of freshly squeezed lime juice) and top the salad with that and just completely omit any other dressing.

Depending on what I'm eating, I'll also use just straight lime or lemon juice to add some flavor.

Of course, every once in a while...I just cant resist a nice warm spinach salad. That's just not any good at all without bacon. So I use some of the rendered bacon fat, then whisk in some red wine vinegar, dijon mustard, and a bit of splenda. Mmmmmmm.... Ok that's not exactly health food, but it sure does taste good.
