    My parents make a home made dressing of vingiger with oil. For tast they add different things like onions, mustered, and some type of fruit..

    Best there is. Getting to the point where I don't like other dressings.

    Just found a really good and very light one. Try the Fat-Free Balsamic dressing made by Maple Grove Farms of Vermont. 15 calories per 2 tbsp. Yummy!!!

    Lately, I have been putting a dollop of hummus on my salad. It has few calories and I love it. I also use balsamic vinegar on my salad sometimes. Most of the time, I avoid salad dressing because it sort of defeats the purpose. The less I use it, the less I want it.

    You probably think this is strange, but I got the idea from my mom when I was a little girl. This is how she got us kids to eat salad. She sprinkled sugar on it! ( There was no Equal back then, but we can use it now!) It satisfies the crunchy and the sweet tooth at the same time! Try it! ;)

    I need something new to put on my salad..I usually use Newmans Lite Honey Dijon...but im sooo tired of it..Any ideas? ;)

    I make my own... Rice vinegar, honey, fresh ground ginger, salt, pepper, minced garlic, and a splash of orange juice and lemon juice... I have no idea about the measurements, but I eyeball it.... It's great on spinach salad with strawberries and mandarin oranges!!

    I am an absolute dressing addict! I probably have ten half-full bottles sitting in the fridge right now, lol! But my go-to favorites are:

    Balsamic vinaigrette (typically Newman's)
    Raspberry poppyseed vinaigrette (Kraft is pretty good)
    Low Fat Sesame Ginger (Newman's)
    Hidden Valley Spicy Ranch
    Tuscan House Italian (Kraft)

    Lately, I've been mixing 1 tbsp of spicy ranch with 1 tbsp of the Tuscan Italian. It's amaaaazing, and tastes especially good with buffalo chicken on a salad.

    But, really, I buy all kinds of dressings (I love trying new things!) and I typically don't go for low fat or whatever. The dressing is sometimes what makes the salad, so have fun with it! Just don't drown your salad in it. :tongue:

    I put salsa on my salad. Really hot salsa

    ^^ This and when I am making it fancy sometimes I mix in a tablespoon or two of sour cream to make it creamy salsa.

    NOTHING!
    all i add is some salt and pepper!
    Put things like onions and kalamata olives in your salad, along with feta cheese.
    These taste great, and if you eat some in each bit, they add the flavor you lack in dressing.
