I have been totally feeling Newmans Honey Mustard (I know i know....not so low cal...but sooo yum)
I love adding dried raisins, cranberries and little carrots strips.

    We eat 2 cups of salad with dinner every evening. I'll make a huge salad one night and it lasts for 2 nights. Tonight, we finished an awesome Greek salad tossed with Light Balsamic Vinaigrette. It was absolutely yummy! If you have the calories to spare, you can top it with 1/2 oz of crushed baked pita chips.

    Make your own raspberry vinegarette with raspberry vinegar, walnut oil, dijon mustard, s & p...its awesome!! I do 3/4 cup vinegar to 1/4 cup oil though, not half and half. With this type of dressing, toasted pecans and goat cheese make wonderful additions!

    Ken's Steakhouse Light Caesar dressing. I also like Ranch but with the Caesar I don't have to use as much to really taste it. I am one who LOVES lots of dressing on my salad. With the Caesar I only need one serving and I am satisfied.

    My all time favorite dressing is Annies Nutruals Goddess Dressing, it is sooooo good. But I havent had that for a long time and dont usually keep it in the house or I will eat it with everything!!

    I usually just put some red vinegar and pepper on my salads. Adding some cranberries, sunflower, or pumpkin seeds is awesome! Cottage cheese is very good on the side. Salads are soooooo good!

    I have always loved salad and have always used WAYYYY too much dressing. Now I toss my lettuce first in the dressing, then add the extras like grape tomatoes, egg, cucumber, roasted sliced almonds, chicken pieces, and some avocado. I used to think that only using the 2 T was impossible, now I actually taste everything in there besides the dressing! I love poppyseed dressing, but cannot find one in light, so I normally use Kraft Catalina Light.

    I always make my own dressings. I use Good seasons mix, more water and vinegar than level indicates and finish the last 1/3 of the shaker bottle with combo canola and olive oil. My honey mustard is 1:1 ratio Grey Poupon and honey. That's it. Enjoy.
