Wishbone Light Ranch - 70 calories per serving. I could probably go lighter if I chose a vinegarette, but I'm a ranch addict.

I prefer to make my own with vinegar and oil but usually find myself using Gazebo Greek Dressing..

Why are people so afraid of fat?

Sodium in my salad dressing scares me more than the fat that is in it. I typically use either Bragg's Organic Healthy Vinaigrette or Non-Fat Dorothy Lynch. The Bragg's has more fat in it (9g) but if you are really trying to watch your sodium both have about 65mg per serving. Neither contain HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup)

I've been mixing 2 parts salsa to 1 part Kraft light Ranch dressing. I've been using it on salads, baked chicken, and fish tacos. It makes a nice ranch taste but with a lot fewer calories.

lemon, or braggs liquid aminos, or braggs apple cidar vinegar AND a touch of oil to help digest vitamins.

+1 for the Bolthouse dressings in the Produce section. I also like the Marzetti Simply Dressed dressings, also in the Produce section. I won't touch the other bottled dressings ever again.

I just prefer to get fat from other sources - nuts, fruits, veggies, and meat.

Just plain salsa. No need to the chemically laded fat free dressings. Good salsa should have very few ingredients, and many different flavors. I like salsa verdes on salads.

Fat helps you digest the good things in raw veggies... SO don't go low fat. Yogurt based Ranch is the best :-)

I've never heard of a vegetable that contains fat. :huh:

Olive oil + vinegar or lemon juice then any spices you want, maybe some garlic too. All the low fat dressings taste off to me, like fake food.

You'd be surprised that there exists a non-zero amount of fruits and vegetables that contain some fat

"Fat Content in Vegetables
Typically, the only fat in vegetables is fat added during preparation or cooking. For example, a 5.3-oz. potato has zero grams of fat, but in a 4-oz. serving of french fries, there are 19 g of fat. To minimize the amount of fat in your diet, prepare vegetables using a small amount of fat, such as olive oil, or steam vegetables when possible. When dining out, select baked, steamed, stir-fried or boiled vegetables. Avoid vegetables that have been deep fried, like french fries."

Pomegranate infused balsamic vinegar is awesome! Also the more cucumbers in a salad, the less need for dressing.
