No matter the type of salad I almost exclusively go with a teaspoon of balsamic vinegar (good quality) and a teaspoon of Olive Oil (good quality).
I use to mix it up first (sometimes using dijon mustard so it would all "stick together" better). Now I just throw it on the salad as is and toss it all together.0 -

Kens lite Asian Sesame with Ginger & Soy.
edit...NVM I think the soy brings up the sodium content.0 -

I've been using organic salsa in place of salad dressing. It's pretty low cal and gives the taste of a taco salad. I spent a long time in the grocery store reading labels until I found one that wasn't too high in sodium but it was worth the extra time!0

I make my own. It's super easy and you can control the fat and sodium. First, grab a clean jar with a lid. I recycle mini mayo jars just for this. Add a ratio of two to one vinegar and olive oil. So, two tbs vinegar to one tbs olive oil, etc. you can use any type of oil that you have on hand. I like rice wine, apple cider, or basalmic. You can change the flavors up really easily. Add some italian herbs, garlic, salt and pepper and a tiny pinch of sugar for a classic Italian. Or, add some ginger, garlic, and a little sesame oil and soy sauce for an Asian dressing. Finely chop some fresh tomato that's sort of mashed with herbs for a great tomato vinaigrette. Once you have your ingredients in the jar, put the lid on and shake really well. They keep for ever!0

Balsamic Garlic Vinaigrette
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1 Tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 Tablespoon honey
freshly ground pepper
Put all ingredients in a jar and shake well. This is low calorie and low sodium, but still tastes really good.
You can also add Italian seasoning if you like.0 -

yummy that sounds good0 -
you can make your own vinagrettes pretty easy and there are a lot of combinations you can come up with.
I usually just use a lemon or lime wedge to give mine a "dressed" feel, but my salads usually have a lot of other toppings on them to make it satisfying.0 -
A member posted this some time back and I have made it several times. Very tasty.
LIght Ranch Dressing
1 cup buttermilk (1%)
½ cup plain Greek yogurt (2%)
½ tsp onion power
½ tsp dried chives
½ tsp dried dill
½ tsp dried parsley flakes
Salt/pepper to taste
A few drops of worcestershire sauce
I use non-fat yoghurt instead of 2%. I also add the buttermilk a little at a time until I get the consistency I want. The whole cup makes it a little watery. This is best after sitting for a couple of hours to let the herbs moisten and infuse the mixture.0 -
bump for later0
