I make this one for my salad sometimes, also works good as a marinade:
5 Tablespoons EVOO
2 Tablespoons rice vinegar
1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard (not yellow mustard)
1/2-1 Tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt

I normally don't like store-bought dressings, especially "light" ones, but my fiancé bought Annie's light poppyseed and it's really delicious. 70 cals for 2 tbsp. I usually have my homemade balsamic vinaigrette:
1 serving
1 tbsp. olive oil
1/2 tbsp. water
1 tbsp. balsamic vinegar (sometimes a little more when I'm feeling extra sassy)
1 clove garlic, minced
pinch of brown sugar
tiny squirt of dijon mustard
salt and pepper
not sure of the calories (probably around 200?) but it's GOOD.0 -

Just use salsa. Low carbs and fats plus adds to the veggie consumption for the day.0

I also love the Annie's Poppyseed dressing.0 -
I make up my own vinaigrette and control the calories by using less. I have one going now that is olive oil, lime juice, and seasonings/salt (I forget which ones).

I seldom use store bought, if I do it's usually light ranch or Costco carries Olive Garden dressing.
The farmers market down the street offers flavored balsamic vinegars such as garlic, basil,or peach strawberry, watermelon and even sour apple. I have a collection to use on salads or I make homemade.
My favorite homemade is the Greek yogurt cilantro dressing 12 calories per serving. 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 cup cilantro, 1 TLBSs olive oil, 1 TLBS lime juice, 2 TSP garlic, 2 TLBS vinegar, salt if needed, process in food processor.0 -
I use the juice from the pickled banana peppers0
