I love eating salad! But I need to find a healthier dressing other than ranch. Any ideas?

    I usually use olive oil and red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar.

    I also like Ken's Italian. Or Newman's Own lite olive oil and vinegar.

    I make my dressing in the bowl everytime i make salad.

    I add:
    a teaspoon of dijon mustard
    3 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar
    salt, pepper
    clove of garlic
    tablespoon of olive oil

    sometimes i'll switch it up and add a splash of lemon juice, some chili flakes, some italian seasoning, etc.

    I like to heat some olive oil in a small frying pan with some Mrs. Dash spicy seasoning and sriracha to warm it up and help "cook" the seasoning into the oil. I let it cool and mix apple cider vinegar and the seasoned oil in a 1:1 ratio. I don't use a lot of dressing because I like to add fruit, tuna, or eggs to my salad to give it flavor. I used to be one of those people that had two pieces of lettuce to about 2 cups of ranch dressing!

    Red wine vinegar and Dijon mustard. I used to add olive oil but I don't miss it one bit.

    Salsa. I cannot stand how sweet low fat/low cal dressings are.

    I've also put hummus on it, but that gets a bit smeary.

    Kraft Roasted Red Pepper Italian is my favorite right now. I alternate it with the lite raspberry vinaigrette and occasionally have a lite peppercorn parmesan ranch.

    Straight up fresh lemon juice, with about a TBSP of dry ranch or Italian dressing mix sprinkled on top.

    I like mine with nothing - especially if I have tomato on it.

    I'd love to try their dressings, but sadly they don't sell them in any stores where I live and I can't find them online.

    Walden farms has a no calorie ranch. It doesn't taste too much like ranch but it's a good substitute.
