.. of this Fat Free Kraft Ranch dressing the more I want to puke. I certainly don't mind fat free items but this by far has to be the most disgusting thing I have ever tasted. I tried it once on a salad and was like "YUCK!!" and today I decided to squirt a tablespoon on the side of my plate of cucumbers and oh my I feel like I'm going to be sick.
What is your favorite salad dressing? I'm willing to give anything a try after this.

At the moment it is Fat free Thousand Island and I don't normally like the regular version.0

LOL - I agree. Try Balsamic Vingerette - 50 Cal0

rofl boy I'm with ya there! And whats worse is the only dressing I've really eaten is ranch. So I've been bad and just eating the mix at home kind with non fat milk and reg mayo then eaten it in moderation. I would love to find a new dressing that was better for me but still tastes amazing lol! Sorry I'm not much help =D0

Newman's Own low fat sesame ginger. I eat it on everything, slaw, salad, even put in on sandwiches, kinda runny but it is so tasty.0

I used to be a ranch fanatic!! I have swapped to Wishbone light Italian. The sodium is pretty high but if you watch it it will be okay. I also use the Light ranch sometimes too and it's way better than the fat free version and it's lower sodium than the Light italian. Hope this helps!! :flowerforyou:0

don't like the Fat Free Ranch by Kraft either... Each bottle I get tastes a little different (almost like some bottles are spoiled) I have found that the Light Ranch made by Great Value is the closest to true Ranch Dressing... My husband didn't even know the difference when i first fed it to him.0

Acutally if you look at the contents of FAT FREE dressing.. its worse for you than regular... They add high fruitose corn suryp in most... and the CARBS are outrageous... Try regular Italian or Light HIdden valley ranch they seem to have the best ingreadiants so far that I have found.> IF anyone has any other suggestions let me know.. ( I must stay away from carbs and sugars...) hope this helps0

My favorite....HOMEMADE!
Yogurt Dip
Ingredients:
•2 ½ cup yogurt – plain (low fat is a good option)
•1 pack vegetable soup mix (Knorr is good)
•1 TBS parsley – chopped fine
•1 tsp garlic (fresh is great – but sprinkle is OK)
•1 tsp dill weed
•1/8 tsp pepper (fresh ground is best)
Directions:
1.Mix together all ingredients.
2.Chill and serve.0 -
instead of fat free.....why don't you try calorie wise. I use Calorie Wise Kraft Catlina Dressing, 15 cals= 1 tbsp.... Calorie wise Ranch. 35cals= 1 tbsp. I find they taste better.0

I try to hardly ever use dip......but if I MUST...this is what I use.....except I only use 1/2 of the pack of Knorr vegetable soup mix0 -
I like the light Hidden Valley Ranch, and I am glad to hear it isn't TOO bad I also love Newman's light honey mustard. I usually use that on salads, and the ranch for a dip. Both are delicious! And by the way, I have never cared for Kraft ranch at all, even the regular. It does just taste wrong...0

I've recently discovered Bolthouse Farms yogurt-based dressings. They're wonderful! I haven't tried any of their vinaigrettes yet, but I plan to.

I've tried blue cheese, ranch and honey mustard so far. Love 'em all.0 -
Although my husband and I both enjoy the Kraft Light Raspberry Vinaigrette (50 cal for 2 Tblsp), I have to admit that I myself don't use any dressings anymore (NEVER thought I would ever be saying THAT! :O) I used to almost drink the stuff!!!) I make salads that include flavorful veggies that I enjoy, such as jicama, tomatoes, beets, etc, without dressings, so now we only purchase the salad dressings for my husband. I have been having an evening salad for a while, but now my husband looks forward to "our evening salads", too. We go through a lot of Romaine lettuce, Spinach, and fresh veggies in our house. LOL :laugh:
By the way, I personally toss out any diet foods that taste yucky or make me sick... even if I've spent a lot of time and energy making them myself. (And I'm actually known as one of the biggest "penny pinchers" around! LOL) There are so many great tastes out there, that I think "bad tasting" foods only serve to discourage one from meeting their dieting goals. Anyway, that was the case for me. I keep "mortification" to a minimum, because I want to do this eating healthy thing for long-term.... :happy:
Great post! I'll have to share some of the ideas on here with my husband; he's always looking to try a different lowcal dressing.0 -
Kraft makes some really good olive oil dressings. In particular I like the rasberry and the fig balsamic ones.0

Martizzini's (sp?) Light Ranch Vegetable dip is my favorite (found in the refrigerated section near the veggies). It's really thick, think sour cream, so I thin it with skim milk.0 -

I second this. I LOVE the ranch. They can be a bit difficult to find though. I can only get them at Whole Foods0 -
mix mustard, honey, and some reduced fat sour cream or plain nonfat yogurt together for honey mustard :happy:0

Agreed... Bolthouse is awesome, but hard to find.
Walden Farms is good too, it's in the produce section next to the bagged lettuce assortments.0 -
I am a RANCH freak! The only thing I'll use now is Hidden Valley Light Ranch! I can't tell the difference now!0
