    I love Paul Newman's Light Sesame Ginger dressing - huge calorie bargain. I add some mandarin oranges OR a little cutie clementine, blue cheese crumbles (low fat if you wish), cucumbers, and almonds. I also sometimes throw in some coleslaw mix or chopped brussel sprouts for crunch. Delicious!!

    Walden Farms is a brand that has 0 calories, 0 sugar and tons of flavor. They make salad dressings, ketchcup, BBQ sauce and
    even chocolate sauce!!! I don't know how they do it...but they are very tasty!

    Engineered food like this, in then long run, is probably not good for your body.

    and carrots, celery, red onion, pears or apples for some added crunch

    this is my autumn/fall salad but you can replace the figs with whatever fruit you like that is in season - experiment

    figs, halved
    2-3 hearts of palm cut into bite-sized pieces
    1 oz crumbled goat cheese, bleu cheese or any other crumbly cheese of your liking
    1-2 slices of crumbled bacon
    toasted pecans or whatever nut you like - just enough to sprinkle the top for texture
    fig-infused vinegar (or any other flavor)

    Put it on a bed of baby spinach if you need greens.

    Feta cheese, bulgar wheat, nuts and seeds, bit of oil, sundried tomatoes, avocado etc etc. All these things add some calories but since learning to make a good salad, I actually really enjoy them!

    Good luck! xx

    I have a lower cal honey mustard that I make and love. I combine plain fat free yogurt, spicy brown mustard, honey and splenda. Yummy!

    I love adding defrosted shelled edamame or defrosted green peas. Little broccoli pieces or red bell pepper chunks are also yummy.

    Add a tiny pinch of salt and pepper, a drizzle of olive oil and a little aged balsamic and yum!

    I sometimes add nuts, celery, cous cous, turkey, and/or hummus. If I'm cheating a little, chutney with the turkey, though by that point it's ceased to be a salad and become a weapon of mass fattening. :P
