    I use Kraft poppy seed or blue cheese. Yes, they are 120-140 cal per 2 Tbs, but I usually don't use the full 2 Tbs. Also, some fat is essential, and I work it into my calories goals and macros. It also makes the salad more satisfying for longer.

    I make my own!

    1/4cup vinegar, 1/3 cup water, 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 2 pinches cayenne pepper, 1/2 tsp basil, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1 tablespoon parsley, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp orageno, 1/4 tsp salt.

    Mix together and shake very well. Allow to sit in the fridge overnight.. or it will just taste like vinegar. Shake VERY VERY well before each use! Its green! =)

    I microwave a small bowl of Nutella and drizzle it on.

    Or else use the 30 calories/serving Raspberry vinaigrette at Target.

    Either way.

    I love Mango Balsamic Vinegar and Pomegranate Balsamic vinegar... only 20 calories per tbsp. I also dip veggies in it sometimes. So good!

    Wow that sounds good. Where is that? In the US?

    plain old vinegar and oil! I like the balsamics best. I pour it into a little travel shampoo bottle and bring it with me to work. Shake it up, and pour it on! I recently started experimenting with making and bottling some of my own vinaigrettes too (I eat a lot of salads lol). One I tried recently: pear, shallot, gorgonzola. DELISH!

    I use a this recipe:

    http://allrecipes.com/recipe/honey-balsamic-vinaigrette/detail.aspx

    However, I scale it down to one serving. it works out to be 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar, 1 1/2 tsp olive oil, 1 1/2 tsp honey and a dash of soy sauce.

    It's delicious! :)

    I use a meyer lemon, safflower oil (about half the amount of liquid from the lemon in oil), kosher salt, and pepper... shake and use sparingly on my romaine lettuce. It tastes pretty good! My favorite thing to do is search pinterest for dressing ideas! They have some really great ones too!
