anyone have any ideas of a salad dressing recipe with no oil/mayo and preferable as close to 0 calories as possible... im getting really bored of my lemon juice and spices every day... maybe something with vinegar or dijon mustard? thanks in advance!

    I love the bottled honey mustard dressing, but got tired of try to find a version with less fat/cal. So now I just put honey mustard on my salad. Even better if it's mixed with a little chipotle or adobo sauce :) (Also my solution for adding flavor in just about every situation lol. chipotle mustard tastes so yummy on so many things!)

    also, I've noticed if I eat a leafy salad with citrus pieces dressing isn't even needed.

    Ingredients:
    Balsamic vinegar

    Directions:
    Apply balsamic vinegar to salad. 10 calories in a tablespoon and you really don't need much.

    I just use like 1/2 a teaspoon of balsamic vinegar, get a really big bowl, and make sure it gets all over everything by stirring it around for ages. But honestly, I prefer it with a tiny amount of olive oil too, and use it on days I can afford to.

    Vinegar, diced hot peppers, a little salt and pepper. Apple cider, plain, whatever you prefer.

    If you are wanting a super low cal dressing, try the 1 cal per spray spritzers. I can eat a huge salad and only have to use 10 sprays or so... 10 calories of balsamic vinaigrette glory!

    Your local grocery store should carry some of these, but if not, here is a link to amazon for them.

    Salsa makes for a delicious dressing if you ask me. Also love balsamic vinegar! :)

    I use the Italian seasoning mixes and just leave oil out, just water and vinegar.

    Sorry if someone already said this (I'm too lazy to click on links) but I'm a ranch addict and this saved my eternal soul. Mix some nonfat plain Greek yogurt with ranch seasoning mix in a packet (the ratio is a personal preference but I like mine really ranch-y) and add a splash of skim milk for consistency. Miraculous. It tastes just like ranch.

    Pickle juice........I LOVE IT. I also use pickles that I cut up in the salad for taste and crunch
