    I love raspberry vinaigrette. Also, Wishbone makes Salad Spritzers, which works really well -- lots of flavor for a few spritzes and a few calories! I just bought ranch in that for the times that I really want salad dressing (I often just do lots of fruit or veggies for flavor too!).

    You could always use salsa. I just made a great taco salad with some and the salsa barely adds any calories.

    My favorite greek salad dressing (not redux though)
    ¾ cup olive oil
    1.5 tsp garlic powder
    1.5 tsp dried oregano
    1.5 tsp dried basil
    1.25 tsp black pepper
    1.25 tsp onion powder
    1.25 tsp Dijon mustard
    ¾ cup red wine vinegar

    15 servings, 100 cal/serving, 2 grams carbs, 10 grams fat, and 0.2 grams protein.

    Even using "light" olive oil doesn't reduce calories.

    Honestly my new favorite dressing is so amazing and simple and it has changed my love for salads.

    3 tablespoons sesame tahini
    Juice of 1 lemon
    Entire bunch of Parsley

    Blend and add enough water. Should be 3 salads worth. 100 calories a salad and it tastes so decadent.

    Walden Farms makes several Zero calorie Zero EVERYTHING dressings (it does have sodium but nothing else) and they are really good. I've started eating my salads with just feta cheese and avocado sliced on top. It's delicious and full of proteins and good fats and tons of flavor too.

    I make an awesome buttermilk garlic dressing. Only 27 calories per tbsp. Not your typical ranch - it's got a kick!

    2/3 cup sour cream
    1 cup light mayonnaise (I used Hellmans)
    1 cloves garlic
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 1/2 teaspoon hot Hungarian paprika (less if you don't like too spicy)
    1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    1 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
    1/2 cup buttermilk (I used Organic Valley lowfat)

    Place everything in a blender, and process until smooth. Make sure the garlic is completely processed. Refrigerate for a few hours so the flavors come together.
