    Hey there. Also a huge fan of the Newman's Own Lite Basalmic.

    The Tzatziki sounds like a great idea. Where do you purchase that? Is it in a certain section at the grocery?

    I don't use dressing. Just crumble feta over an entire salad. YUM!!!

    Try Bolthouse Farms yogurt dressings. I use the ranch, thousand island and bleu cheese dressings. They have 45 calories for 2 tbsp and taste DELISH! They are usually found in the produce department in the dressing cooler. I also use the Safeway sesame ginger spritzer...YUM!

    This ^ and Ken's Northern Italian w/ basil and Romano

    If I'm going super low, I'll just use vinegar sparingly and no oil (i.e. cider vinegar or sherry and balsamic are good if you don't want too much savory). The secret to going with just the vinegar and still making it taste good it what else you put in the salad i.e: nuts, fruit (grapes, papaya, melon), roasted vegetables

    Or I really really really like homemade lemon & poppy seed dressing:
    1 cup yoghurt (soy or dairy)
    2 tbsps lemon juice
    2tbsps honey
    1 tsp poppy seeds

    Takes 5 mins, lasts up to 5 days and makes roughly 18 tablespoons at 16 cals tablespoon (when made with soya yoghurt).

    I get it in the deli section at our grocery store (well beside the deli section) where they have different pre-made dips and such! There are lots of recipes online to make it yourself if you wanted

    I take whatever kind of dressing I like, but use only half mixed with cider or wine vinegar. The dressings I like are the creamy type but too thick for my taste so the thinning with vinegar make it easier to coat the lettuce and I use less that way. Since I'm the only one in the house that needs to watch his weight, this way we don't have to buy a bunch of different dressings .

    Walden Farms makes a zero calorie dressing. It's my new favorite...I've tried the bacon ranch and the honey mustard. So far, I've really been enjoying them and the best part: NO CALORIES!!!! I also just picked up their new Peanut Butter Spread today (also has 0 calories) so I'll be trying that out tonight and see how I like it.

    I have had so many different dressings, and I don't like any of them as much as I do ranch, it sucks! So I usually just use a serving size of ranch, no matter how big my salad is. Lol :tongue:

    YES! I enjoy some of their dressings as well. Maple Grove Farms and Ken's are high on my list as well.
