    Not everyone carries it, but Dorthy Lynch Fat Free is great if you like something like a slightly sweeter, lighter french style dressing.

    I make my own as well. Something like 1 part apple cider vinegar (or red wine vinegar), 3 parts apple cider vinegar and then I add whatever herbs sound good for the day. Sometimes I add lemon juice or mustard. If I am craving something closer to the ranch family, I mix in a tablespoon-ish of plain yogurt. YUM! Good luck.

    t marzettis fat free ranch, it only comes in packets and I haven't seen it anywhere but online but it's sooo good and the plus size to packets is no measuring :)

    I used to love this walnut raspberry low fat dressing at Whole Foods, but with all dressings I tried, the sugar content was so high. I have finally thrown in the towel and use only balsamic vinegar and black pepper. I will indulge and buy a really good one when my Cento and Progresso run out.

    I really like the idea of the watered down hummus and the salsa as stated by other posters. I may actually try the hummus one.

    pomegranate vinaigrette is one of my favorites. If I can't have this as a dressing I do plain old oil and vinegar with salt, pepper, and minced garlic.

    Annie's red pepper is only 60 calories per 2 TBSP and really good ( and organic). Most of Annies dressings are good and free of additives. Otherwise, i make my own.

    Huge fan of Bolthouse Farms - no sacrifice on flavor what-so-ever!!! I buy the Balsamic (30 cal, 2 tbs), Ranch & Honey Mustard (45 cal, 2 tbs) and LOVE all 3

    My two go to dressings: Low fat sour cream + salsa for a southwest salad (lettuce, black beans, some corn, chicken strips)
    or
    My "Handful" salad:
    1 handful romaine
    1 handful spinach
    sliced strawberries, craisins, sliced purple onions and chopped almonds. The dressing is 1/3 c. Splenda, 3 TB fresh lemon juice (that's about the amount you get from one lemon), a splash olive oil (maybe 1-2 tsp), and 2 TB apple cider vinegar. Makes a wonderful sweet/tangy dressing.
    Enjoy your salad!

    Try using Balsamic vinegar flavored with fruit, there are basically no calories or oil or anything, it tastes a bit tart, but good. Someone showed me a bottle at wholefoods, and I'm hooked on it.

    For those of you who are using Olive Oil (even extra virgin Olive Oil) you should consider switching to something different. Olive oil is hugely calorific - switch to a low fat vinaigrette instead.

    I use Lite Italian - only about 30 calories per serving (2 tbsp) and I love the way it tastes!
