Make a hot salad dressing (my fiance's favourite!)
Bubble togetehr some chutney (tomato, mango, anything) with a good dollop of wine vinegar. Reduce till desired consistency.0 -
This may sound nuts, but I would rather have 1tbsp of full fat dressing than a lot of the low fat, usually gross stuff! JMHO0

low fat salad dressing makes me binge! I have no idea why! I can't remember the last time I had full fat though so it might do the same. I try to stick to salad spritzers or vinegar.0 -
I really like Ken's Steakhouse lite Northern Italian (says w/ Basil & Romano on the label) dressing. AMAZING!
Only 50 calories for 2 tbsp.0 -
I love Naturally Fresh Ginger dressing in salad isles 2 tbls 70- cals .
Also Walmart sells Cape Cod Lite Sesame Ginger- 2 tbls 40 cals
And Ken's Lite Asian Sesame with Ginger and Soy- 2 tbls 70-cals
The Asian flavors just gives my salad a nice kick . Gives me my chinese food fix.0 -
I'm not a fan of light dressings and I don't like vinaigrettes, so I use Marie's Yogurt dressing. Half the fat and cals of regular dressing, but just as yummy.0

I mix a tablespoon of tahini with wholegrain mustard and honey, and skimmed/soya milk for a creamy low cal dressing, sometimes I use american mustard as a dressing, most are very low cal, or I use cider vinegar. I also thin down light mayo with soya/skimmed milk.0

I use kraft fat free dressing and wishbone light italian dressing. These dressings are good and i like them but watch out for the sodium levels 3 tablespoons of the fat free ranch was over 300mg in sodium.0

I find that I can use 1 tbsp. dressing and it gives adequate coverage to most salads (1-2 c. of salad). I just put it in a big mixing bowl with the tbsp. of dressing and use a spatula to mix it around really well.
Or, if I'm looking for a really low-fat but still creamy dressing, I'll use 2 tbsp. of non-fat greek yogurt with some salt & dill.0 -
wish bone's fat free italian dressing, 15 calories for 2 tablespoons! and it's GOOD!!!!0

olive oil and vinegarand lemon
or mix anchovy paste olive oil and lemon and avacado....all the good fats so no worries0 -
Bolthouse Farms Tropical Mango Extra Virgin Olive Oil Vinaigrette is effin' good. I just had some actually, with my chicken salad. 30 calories for 2 tbsp (30g).0
-
I make my own. Fat free sour cream, skim milk, and a packet of powder ranch dressing mix. The mix itself has only 5 calories and no fat, it's what you put it in that makes it bad for you. Just make sure you mix it really well in a mixer or it will be chunky.0
-
I mix honey mustard, raspberry agave( just a touch) ,red wine vinegar, mrs.dash. and a little stevia or zylitol. Very good especially if you are eating bitter greens and need flavor to cut the bite.0
-
lemon juice is my favorite. its calorie free, fat free, sodium free and lemon juice speeds your metabolism up.0
-
If I am having a salad with lots of veggies, then I need a salad dressing with some substance, if not, then I remain hungry. One of my favorites is Newmann's Light Honey Mustard.0
-
this is another area I look for low fat or fat free on ...... I could care less about the calories0
-
The only one my whole family agrees on is Hidden Valley Ranch Light. I am a fork dipper so I only eat about a teaspoon at one time.0
-
i can only eat the Kraft French, if i'm going full on-Fat Free...the rest are really gross to me...otherwise, i go with the "light" dressings, which tend to have just a few grams of fat, same amount of calories and less sugar!0
-
I love using straight balsamic vinegar.0
-
bragg brand dressings are really low cal. they have apple cider vinegar to help with digestion too.
their hawaiian is 20 cal/2tbsp. makes anything tasty.0 -
I mix olive oil, lemon juice and djion mustard together. Sometimes I add a little black pepper.0
-
ken's sundried tomato dressing or just using plain lemon juice and a pinch of garlic has been working for me.
fattie dressings have been making me sick now, like ranch. i can't stand the stuff.
also light italian dressing, i love the stuff!0 -
I really like Ken's Steakhouse lite Northern Italian (says w/ Basil & Romano on the label) dressing. AMAZING!
Only 50 calories for 2 tbsp.
I second this!!! I don't like most light dressings but this one is great!!0 -
I just water down full fat dressing if I use it at all. If I am at a restaurant I order it on the side and just dip my fork in it a bit before taking a bite. Low Fat and No Fat dressing is pretty much all chemicals that I wouldn't put into my body.
Real Mayo watered down with some garlic or whatever added to it is great as well.0
