    The bolthouse yogurt dressing series is simply AMAZING! Its not zero fat grams but it ranges between 1-3 g of fat which is not bad at all. I really like the salsa ranch or ceasar parmaggiano. They both pack a ton of flavor and only cost 45 calories per TBSP as opposed to over 100 cals! Try it! Enjoy!:laugh:

    When I'm making salads i usually add a bit of olive oil, lemon juice, salt, red pepper flakes, pepper and sometimes garlic. It's super clean and tastes great.

    Wishbone's Ranch Salad Spritzer is my go-to. It's got about 2 calories per spray and I typically use 15 sprays for a small/medium salad. Marie's Yogurt Ranch is good when you want the thicker stuff. It contains 70 calories per 2 TBSP. :happy:

    Walden Farms Raspberry Vinaigrette. No calories and I think it tastes great.

    Stay away from no fat/low fat salad dressings. They are full of chemicals and added sugar! Use the full fat versions in moderation.

    This. I personally prefer higher fat dressings. Fat is not the enemy.

    I prefer regular dressing over the low fat ones. They taste much better and you don't need to use a lot. When using dressing I use a lot less if I dip my fork into it before taking a bite instead of covering the salad in dressing.

    if those are your only criteria, walden farms could be an option. I love Bolthouse farms, especially the salsa ranch. I usually just add something with lots of seasoning like roasted veggies... then I don't need dressing. or a little fat free sour cream + spices.

    I don't really like salad dressing so if I put anything on my salad it is squeezed lemon.

    Bolthouse Olive Oil Vinaigrette - Classic Balsamic. Only 30 calories per 2 TBSP and no fat. All natural and organic. Yum! I heard the other Bolhouse dressings are delicious as well. Otherwise I just use sprayer to spray some olive oil on my salads with a little bit of vinegar or lemon juice and salt/pepper and garlic powder. Very good!

    Lime juice

    Any vinegar mixed with spices (various mustards, Mrs. Dash seasoning blends, hot sauce, black pepper, garlic, and combination of the previous)

    Sometimes I just mix pickled vegetables (hot pickled okra or cauliflower, hot banana peppers, gardenia, etc.) into the salad use that instead of dressing.

    I make a dressing consisting of low fat Greek yoghurt with spring onions or cucumber, and will add chilli flakes or pepper. Tastes great and you don't feel guilty after :)

    You can dress a salad in a variety of things which have no added sugar or chemicals and are fat free.

    Think outside the bottle.

    Come to think of it, just low fat would be fine as well!

    2 large mangos, diced
    2 large tomatoes, diced
    1 small onion, diced
    3 jalapenos, diced
    lime juice, cilantro, garlic, and pepper to taste

    A lot of Asian dressings are fat free but do contain sugar. I'm thinking of Thai and Vietnamese. Google Japanese tofu salad dressing. There are some traditional ones that get their creaminess from puréed tofu.

    Some reduced fat dressings I like are:

    1 part each of soy sauce, balsamic vinegar and hazelnut oil.
    2 parts buttermilk, 1 part mayo and garlic salt.

    Both are less fat than classic vinaigrette which is 1 part vinegar to 3 parts olive oil.

    Greek yogurt mixed with salsa! Especially corn and bean salsa. Yum yum yum. Delicious and healthy.

    I've also learned from subway that Franks Buffalo Sauce makes an amazing chicken salad.

    I like this, too. And variations on it. Apple Cider Vinegar, and other flavored vinegars + olive oil, peppers, seasonsings I use my Pampered Chef Salad Dressing stir thingy and feel very fancy when I do it. LOL

    I like to use a scoop of cottage cheese. Since it cottage cheese it has fat and calories but the protein it provides trumps those! In my opinion of course.
