    I love feta on salads. I have recently started loving gorgonzola cheese in them too.

    amishfinefoods sells salad dressings in packet sizes from a variety of sources so you don't buy a whole bottle, hate the taste and throw it out: http://amishfinefoods.com/condiments.html

    I like to mix plain greek yogurt with a little fresh horseradish and some vinegar.
    Also straight hummus is a great dressing or mix hummus with a little mustard.
    Cottage cheese is also a good "dressing", I was skeptical how it would taste ON the salad but you barely notice it and the salad is nice and creamy (I use 1/4 cup of low-salt cottage cheese on a big bowl of salad, a little goes a long way). If I'm feeling crazy I'll do cottage cheese and a little hummus.

    Greek yogurt, no-salt greek seasoning and some blue cheese crumbles is also good.

    Once you love gorgonzola, try a little blue cheese crumbled! I love these strongly flavored cheese because a little goes a long way = fewer calories for the same satisfaction!

    I'm a ranch dressing junkie. Are there any good *healthy* recipes that don't sacrifice too much in the taste department?

    Plain balsamic vinegar (either red or white) is really good too and has about 20 calories per tablespoon (which is plenty of vinegar for a salad).

    Also try making your own salad dressing using oil and vinegar and maybe some dijon mustard to thicken it up/creamy it up. There's very few calories in mustard, and if you use very little oil you don't add too much AND olive oil is so good for you its worth it.

    Better to put whole natural foods in your body than products of modern chemistry. As Jamie Oliver once said "if the ingredient list looks like a NASA experiment, don't eat it!"

    I just checked out book "Now Eat This!" from the library and it has some healthier dressing recipes. I haven't tried them, but wanted to pass along the information!
