    I hear ya, that's why I dillute with more vinegar...also keep in mind a serving size is 2 tbsp - I use the little medicine cups that come with kids' medicine because those are 2 tablespoons exactly filled to the top. :) Olive oil is really the best fat you can have also.

    Also, 2 tablespoons is a LOT. I use a quarter of that amount, and especially with a vinaigrette, it's easy to make a little go a long way.

    For a change, I use fresh salsa instead of salad dressing- the one I recently bought is 5 calories for 2 Tbsp. I also found a mango and roasted red pepper salsa that is great on salad, especially when i add cooked chicken. This one has a few more calories- 20 for 1 Tbsp but is also a nice change.

    I use Litehouse (found in the Fridge section by the bagged lettuce) it's a pomegranate Blueberry Vinaigrette -Great Flavor and only 25 Calories fro 2 Tbsp.

    I use the Wishbone Spritzers...1 calorie per spritz! The Balsamic Vinaigrette is great, and the Raspberry Bliss. The Honey Mustard Vinaigrette is great, too!

    Love those :)

    I only like Ranch dressing...so I knew I would have a problem. I was looking through the store and near the veggie section I found Bolthouse Farms Yogurt Ranch dressing. I was surprised that it's really good and if you watch your portions it's not too bad for you.
    2 tbsp
    calories 70
    total fat 6 grams
    and It comes in a variety of flavors !

    Totally bragging, but I live in the city where bolthouse farms is(and my dad deliver propane to them even) and one of my friends works there that has a huge crush on me and he knows i love the juices so he will get me juices from there from time to time to i guess barter for my affection haha....but hey, a girls gotta have her yummy juice!

    I recently found an excellent dressing at Trader Joe's. It is called Trader Giotto's balsamic vinaigrette. It is tasty!

    Presidents Choice Blue Menu makes the best – all super low cal, their Blue Menu line is huge now, thousands of items and for once, its something Canada has, actually ONLY Canada has it, wooo! I always buy Caesar since that’s the only one we’ll finish before it expires to make Chicken Caesar Salad for dinner every couple weeks. It has 45 calories and tastes the best! I’ve made it for potluck at work also, people love it.

    I also make my own low-cal pesto with it. ½ bunch basil, 1 tbsp Caesar dressing, 1 clove garlic, combine in a Euro Chopper or Slap-Chop type of product or even food processor but its only 2-3 tbsp of fresh pesto, that’s too big of a dish to wash ;)

    Mix together some plain nonfat yogurt, plain mustard, and pure honey... for one serving, try: 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp mustard, 3 or 4 tbsp yogurt.

    Yum, I bet that would be good as a dip for chicken! Or even to replace mayo on a sandwich! :D

    I recently discovered the Bolthouse Farms Creamy Yogurt Blue Cheese dressing, and I really like it. I was wondering if the ranch was good too. I'll try that next. Thanks!
    I bought the ranch and honey mustard versions today. I couldn't decide which to try first, so I put a little of each on my salad. It was so good that way, I'll probably combine them next time too! The honey mustard has only 45 calories and 1.5 grams of fat per serving. They are both delish!
