    Ken's Steakhouse Dressings has a good line-up of lite options. I use Ken's Lite Balsamic Vinaigrette, Ken's Lite Northern Italian, Ken's Lite Ceasars, Ken's Lite Raspberry Walnut Vinaigrette and another that I can't remember off the top.

    I never use dressing at home. I use an arabic spice called "Summac". If you're ever had fatoosh, the spice they put on it is called Summac. The spice is also great to put on top of your burgers after you take them off the grill

    I love Ceasar... but so fattening.
    I searched low calorie Ceasar Salad Dressings and the best rated was Ken's Steak House Lite Ceasar.
    I had never heard of Ken's Steak House Dressings.
    Found It at WalMart. OMG.... Delishous! You would NEVER know it was low cal.
    Also, In the produce section in the cooler next to salads you can find LIGHT HOUSE Lite Salsa Ranch. Very Yummy!
    I really hate "light" salad Dressings but these are GOOD!

    I either just use fresh squeezed lemon or red wine vinegar. If I am low on my fat intake for the day I will add some olive oil. I grow my own herbs so some finely chopped thyme and rosemary and a dash of garlic really makes the salad special.

    I use a half & half mixture of Kraft Zesty Italian & Kraft Fat Free Caesar Italian dressings...ends up being 45-50 cals for each 2 tbsp serving. :)

    I actually like to use (1%) Cottage Cheese and put that on top of my salad... I think it is delicious, and a bit healthier than salad dressing.

    I use full fat dressing on everything except I only use 1tbsp instead of the serving size of 2 tbsp.

    Ranch-Kraft
    Chipotle southwest-Hidden Valley
    If I'm eating a taco salad, I skip the dressing and just use salsa. Sometimes I add sour cream
    Honey mustard
    Caesar-Wishbone

    Bolthouse has a classic balsamic vinaigrette that is only 10 or 20 calories a serving. Love it! Very flavorful. I do baby spinach or spring mix with onions, cherry tomatoes, red peppers and a little bit of reduce fat feta cheese. Would rather have the cheese than the oil in the dressing.

    I make my own. Most times I start with some type of mustard, some type of vinegar, spices and a little olive oil, because I LOVE mustard. But sometimes I'll use hot sauce as the base, or the juice from pickled vegetables and sometimes I just spinkle on a little balsamic vinegar. It's super easy to make a dressing.

    I have gotten out of the habit of using store bought dressings. (Ranch USED to be the only thing I would use, and LOTS of it) Now, I use, a dash of EVOO, and apple cider vinager, dijon mustard, and sometimes a packet of truvia. Today, I just used a dash of EVOO and vinager. I try to mix it up.

    Salsa sounds so good though. I go in spurts.

    None. Its a wast of calories and the oil dressings are bad for you.

    Walden Farms has some great dressings ... no carbs, no sugar, no fat, no calories. Don't waste your time on the Ranch ... it's as bad as any other fat free Ranch out there, but I really like their Honey Dijon and the Balsamic! Look for it in the refrigerated/produce section. They also have a website offering pancake syrups, chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, jams, etc. Haven't tried any of them, but there's always that option!
