I love Tastefully Simple's Vidalia Onion Dressing. Anyone know of a lower-calorie dressing like that?? Or any lower calorie salad dressing??

    Bolthouse Farms makes a ranch dressing that's 45 calories/2 T. It's the best light dressing I've had. They have a wide variety of different dressings that have been good. I also like Trader Joes light Creamy Peppercorn Ranch that's 30 calories/2 T.

    The lowest calorie salad dressing that I've tried is the fat free ranch. In my opinion, I would just rather eat the original thing but just less. However if you're interested, it is 30 calories per tbsp. Hope I helped (:

    I assume it's creamy? I do not use any creamy dressings but have gotten really used to plain old balsamic vinegar (not vinaigrette). I can now taste my vegetables and have room for dessert at night.

    Hidden Valley Fat Free Ranch and Fat Free French are pretty good. I seem to crave creamier things and this helps that craving. I dig italian dressing too, but ehhh... not feeling it lately. Also, I love using mustard and salsa as salad dressing. So much flavor!

    none. The trick I learned is to dip the salad into a serving size cup dressing rather than pour it onto the salad. Works for me.

    I can't really enjoy the fat free creamy dressings; they're all way too sweet due to the added sugar that replaces the fat.

    Kraft has a 'lite' toasted Asian Sesame that's to die for. It's not supposed to be creamy, so the reduced fat isn't as noticeable. I've gotten a bunch of people to try it at work because it smells so good, they all claim to like it :)

    Kraft fat free raspberry vinaigrette. Is my favorite 35 cal for 2 tablespoons. Kraft has a line for reduced calorie dressing.

    Walden Farms Calorie Free Dressing Bacon Ranch is pretty good, i use it or Kraft Fat Free Ranch, occasionally I use Vidalia Onion Vinaigrette by Virginia Brand. I have to keep my sodium under 2000 so it makes it hard for me to find dressing...lol

    The bacon ranch is calorie free sugar free and fat free

    I make mine. I use the good seasons packets but switch the water and oil, so just two tablespoons of oil in the bottle. It gets thick and tastes great. I also make hidden valley ranch with skim milk and low fat mayo. Also good.

    My sister uses fat free sour cream with a packet of hidden valley ranch seasoning and she said it's 9 calories per tablespoon. It ends up being like a chip dip consistency, haven't tried it on a salad but it was good for dipping veggies.

    Bolthouse Farms and Marzetti Simply Dressed Light. Both are delicious and low calorie. They are both located in the produce section.

    There is a spray dressing, I know Safeway has a line. It's only 10 calories for 10 sprays and comes in various flavors. I have used the trick of dipping my fork into the dressing, it's a great way to cut down the amount used and still get the flavor. Plain lemon juice is another option.

    The Bolthouse Farms yogurt ranch is ok but really sweet to me. I like the Olive Garden dressing by Marzetti, it's only 80 cal for 2 Tbsp and really nice. Panera's Asian Sesame Vinaigrette is really good too and 60 cal for 2 Tbsp IIRC.
