    tamari sauce
    miso paste
    Optional: hot sauce to taste
    Optional: seasame seeds

    Great on salads with strawberries, avocado, spinach, kale...

    I love the tartness of balsalmic vinegar, so I use that with a little olive oil for salad dressing. If I don't have any balsalmic I will use rice vinegar.

    This. I also like to use balsamic with a good amount of pepper or chili flakes.

    I make a light ranch with one part buttermilk to one part mayo. You could reduce the mayo or replace some of it with low fat yoghurt to further reduce calories. Season with garlic powder, salt, and herbs such as oregano. It's lighter than classic vinaigrette which is 3 parts olive oil to 1 part vinegar.

    Homemade Ranch Dressing

    Level:
    Easy
    Serves:
    8 servings

    Ingredients
    1 clove garlic
    1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
    1 cup real mayonnaise
    1/2 cup sour cream
    1/4 cup Italian flat-leaf parsley leaves, minced
    2 tablespoons fresh dill, minced
    1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
    1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
    1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
    1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
    1/4 teaspoon paprika
    1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    Dash hot sauce
    1/4 to 1/2 cup buttermilk (as needed for desired consistency)
    Directions
    Mince the garlic with a knife and then sprinkle on the salt and mash it into a paste with a fork.

    In a bowl, combine the garlic paste, mayonnaise, sour cream, parsley, dill, chives, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, vinegar, paprika, cayenne and hot sauce. Add the buttermilk to desired consistency and mix to combine, tasting frequently and adjusting seasonings as needed. Chill for a couple of hours before serving, thinning with more buttermilk if needed.

    Make your own. Perhaps use greek yogurt instead of sour cream. I altered my recipe to use veganaise instead of mayo (i like it better). I did use sour cream though. No chives cause I didn't have any. And i replced the wine vinegar with a little bit of lemon. Delicious. Couldn't be that many calories.

    Also, mix your salads at home in a bowl with the dressing then put on a plate. You'll use less dressing that way.

    Bolthouse Yogurt Ranch FTW

    I will have to see if I can find this where I live a girl at work had some sort of ranch w yogurt dressing but I didn't ask where she got it so I will be looking for it, I would rather have store bought for the simple fact I don't have time to make my own, I do use balsamic vin sometimes but its potent

    I love straight up olive oil! But, I imagine I will branch out into making my own simple salad dressings at home. There are lots and lots of recipes for salad dressing on Allrecipes.com. Good luck! :)
