I like this brand too. I just tried Sesame Ginger. Its got the sweetness of ginger but not overdone like the rasberry vinagarette that is fat free. The Walden farms is made with water, soysauce and spices. It does have 130 g of sodium per Tbs (soy sauce). It is zero calories. I like to mix it with a Kens light sesame ginger that is 35 cal per Tbs. I can get plenty of dressing on a large salad for 35 cal. I also use salsa a lot. I will add several spoons of salsa and just 1 T of fat free ranch. I have done the tuna (no mayo) with Salsa too. I found my walden farms dressing at Kroger.

I just read this while eating my salad! I didn't want too much fat so I added half of a mango cut up in the salad. The mango is so juicy that it "makes it's own dressing"!.

Also to get the most coverage for my salad I borrow the restaurant trick of putting all of my salad ingredients into a very large bowl, pour my dab of dressing on top and then mix the salad up really well. You'll need a bowl about 4 times or so larger than your salad to keep it all contained. That is my best salad tip ever!

Many have already suggested salsa, and I must say that is what I do as well. It is really yummy!!! Also another little thing you can do if you like tomatoes, cucumbers, green peppers and onions is dice them up and place them in a tumbler that has a lid and give it a good shaking...add a LITTLE salt and some pepper for taste and then place it on your salad. The juices from the tomatoes along with the other flavors taste great! And it is a good way to get some extra veggies in your diet.

Hummus. If I put hummus on my salad 2tbsps for 70 calories, I don't even need a dressing.

Wow, some really great idea on here! Salsa, hummus, rice wine vinegar, homemade fruit vinegarettes, and yogurt are some of my fav ideas. So thk for the suggestions, guys. Gonna add them to my grocery list this week.

Three of my favorite alternatives are 1) Salsa 2) The Juice from the banana pepper jar and 3) Plain greek yogurt witha little dash of old bay seasoning, or some of the salad dressing mixes (powder ones) mixed in. Add a little white wine vinegar to thin it if you think the texture is too thick.

Marie's Yogurt Parmesan dressing. Half the calories and low sodium. Or just cutting back on the dressing after a while you will get use to less.:drinker:

Throw some slices of mandarin orange on that salad or make something with OJ would be good

AnneGenevieveS

you did olive oil and vingear, but add ... salt and cracked black pepper. That's what I love that just makes the salad great.

And great toppings make you not need dressing. eggs, cucumber, tomato, maybe even some ham and bacon crumble, mushrooms, chicken, avacado, onion, salt, pepper!

Or skip the salad. Just because its salad doens't mean its the best healthy thing ever. You can get lots of nutrients other ways

I drizzle about a t of Olive Oil into a bowl, about 1/4 t of balsamic vinegar, a dash of hot sauce, soy sauce and garlic powder...makes a great base for any salad

I have used 2-3 flavors. I have gotten them from Jewel osco in chicago area. Check the bottle. I know of one that has few calories...Italian I think...forgot which.

Fat free Ranch by Hidden Valley! SOO yummy and only 30 calores for TWO tablespoons. I only end up using one usually, and I expend almost nothing on dressing. #winning

I love ranch dressing. I could drink it out of the bottle. I couldn't take the calories any longer so I made up my own. It is so simple.

Cottage Cheese (about 2 tbsp)
splash of skim milk
garlic salt
onion powder
dried dill
dried parsley

Blend in the magic bullet blender. You can make up larger batches and just store in the little magic bullet container. Adjust the spices to your taste. This serving is less than 50 calories!

In a pinch, I'll use mustard. BUT like 2 days ago, I found Paula Dean Peach Salad dressing! Very good across the board. Best wishes!

Fresh herbs like dill, basil, parsley, oregano. Herb it up!
I usually just drizzle a little balsamic vinegar and skip the oil unless I'm low on healthy fats. Squeeze an orange over it, add grapes depending on other ingredients in it. Nuts and seeds. I love Black olives. Yum!

Mrs. Dash (salt free) seasoning. I just sprinkle it on and it tastes pretty good. There are different flavors/ varieties available.
