    I could drink my salad dressing!

    1 cup packed cilantro
    1/2 cup olive oil
    1/4 cup lime juice
    1/4 cup orange juice
    some salt
    some pepper
    OPTIONAL: Pinch of minced garlic ( I love garlic but hate smelling like it. LOL)

    Puree and YUMMY!

    (About 50 cals per Tbsp)

    That actually sounds really good.

    Lemon juice, olive oil, lemon pepper and salt. I don't usually measure exactly, but depending on the size of my salad, anywhere from .5 to 1.5 Tbsp of olive oil (which is the only part I log)

    Raspberry Vinegarette
    1 jar of Smuckers sugar free raspberry jam
    same jar filled with red wine vinegar - I actually use a little less
    1/2 c Splenda or more to taste if you like it sweeter
    dried onion flakes
    garlic powder to taste

    blend in a blender.

    20 calories for 2 Tbs and it has a lot of flavor.

    I have started using olive oil Infused with habanero and a balsamic vinaigrette infused with fig. 3 parts vinaigrette and 1 part oil (tablespoons) only equals 75 for vinegar and 120 for oil. 195 for 4 tablespoons. 48 calories for one tablespoon which is all I really need. Also no sodium which I find there is a lot of in salad dressings.

    I make all my dressings with no oil and it tastes just as good. Try heating a little lemon juice and add some garlic and herbs to it with a little dijon mustard, yummy. Or lemon juice on it's own, or even yoghurt with a little juice in.

    I suppose I could've posted my suggestion. If you need ranch, you can make a pretty passable fat-free ranch by following the directions on a packet of hidden valley and using fat-free sour cream and skim milk. It's high-ish on the calories-- about 60 per serving, I think? But it'll scratch the ranch itch. I added buffalo sauce (maybe ten calories more?) for kick.

    Oil and vinegar is my go to. Either red wine vinegar or balsamic. I may add some seasoning too, like italian or seasoned salt. Or some mustard.

    When I cook the beets in the pressure cooker,
    I save the beet water.
