    Like others have said ranch mix plus plain greek yogurt. A much bigger serving and less calories.
  • Hi Kenall,

    Do you happen to have a Whole Foods Market around you??

    There is an all natural dressing its called Tessames (and I buy it sparingly because it is six dollars a bottle) but it is delicious. I use just one tablespoon (the ranch is 110 cal and the sesame ginger is 100) and put it over baby spinach, arugula, or the mixed greens (about two and a half cups worth) and it is plenty for the salad.

    The best thing about this ranch is its not creamy, but more of an oil and vingegar and spices combination. Like I said, the price is kinda steep for the size bottle, but it is worth every penny. Definitely give it a try. I'm hooked. Also, don't be frightened by the way it looks. Because it is all natural, the oil solidifies when its in the fridge so before using it, just run the bottle under some warm water or just take it out for a bit before using and its just like new.

    Enjoy!

    Wanna know whats awesome on veggis and stuff? The "holy trinity": Olive Oil, Lemon Juice (or Vinegar) and salt. This is low in fat, high in flavor and brightens any dish.

    Olive oil is high in fat.

    High in fat, but very healthy..much more healthy than bottled dressing.

    Fat doesn't make you fat anyway.

    The OP is worried about calories... Fat doesn't make you fat but it has a lot of calories that contribute to the getting fat part. The person responding to you was pointing that high fat means high calories.

    olive oil is healthy fats
