    Salsa is good on romaine. I also like the Ken's Steakhouse Light Northern Italian Dressing - only 45 cals for 2 tablespoons.

    I add diced avocado and then season with Tony Chacheres' seasoning. No dressing needed as the avocado creates the creaminess and the Tony's provides the flavor.

    My hubby just adds salt and pepper...

    Also, I use this for veggie dip, but it could be used as salad dressing as well...instead of ranch dressing, buy a 6 oz. cup of Chobani plain Greek yogurt, and mix 1 packet of Ranch seasoning into it. For one tablespoon it is about 35 calories. It's super yummy & much healthier.

    This isn't a full-on alternative but I take my favorite salad dressings and use 1tbsp and then mix with 2 tbsp of water. It coats whatever I put it on, gives me the flavor I love with only have the calories.

    Try a salad that doesnt have lettuce - I'm actually not a huge fan of it either.

    My fave salad is a handful of cherry tomatoes, 1/4 diced avocado, diced red pepper and/or cucumber and sprinkle some feta on top with a bit of balsamic vinegar and that's it!

    ^great idea

    I bought a white sesame ginger balsamic vinegar that tastes sweet and amazing by itself and is only 15 calories a tbsp 0g fat and 3g carbs. It was pricey but I can't imagine ever going back to regular salad dressing again!!

    Wow, just seen all these replies! awesome!

    I tried the Greek yogurt mixed with Ranch seasoning.. it was ok, not something I'd eat often, but definitely a good option to have. Can't wait to try some of these other ones!
