    I limit the calories from salad dressing by serving it to the side and dipping the tines of my fork in it before picking up bites of salad. That gives me a taste of the dressing with each bite without having to completely slather every lettuce leaf and cherry tomato with it.

    I get the Country French Vinaigrette herb spice mix from Penzey's Spices. You just add a little water, red wine vinegar, and olive oil. Best dressing I have ever had in my life!!

    I'm a ranch girl, and I've yet to find a light or low-calorie dressing that tastes good enough to satisfy me. For me, I just allow calories for the regular ranch dressing...

    God, I'm the same. If I'm trying to eat more salad I need a good dressing so I just allot that amount into my calorie intake for the day

    Have you guys tried taking cottage cheese, a packet of dry ranch dressing, and whirling it in a blender? Thin it with a bit of Soy milk or water if necessary. It's good!! Other than that I use Bolthouse dressings

    Straight up balsamic vinegar is all I use

    Except...Sometimes I don't use dressing at all - if my protein is a lightened up tuna or chicken salad, I consider that my dressing. Or sometimes a little bit of hummus or smashed avocado.

    Bolthouse Farms yogurt dressing. Its in the produce section. 35-45 cals per tablespoon for creamy dressings.

    I mix extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice and garlic. I do add raw honey from time to time.

    my fav homemade recipe is a small snack size container of greek Balkan thick yogurt plain... all you have to do is add a grated clove or two .. depending on how garlicy you like it.. grate some Italian herbs or just throw in a little bit of dried mixed Italian herbs.. stir and put it over your salad.. like a cesar salad but way better for you...leave the croutons out of it.. but grate some real Italian parma cheese on the top .. and total yum

    Thank you! I have added this to my recipe file :) Sounds super yummy! I wonder if it can be done with regular plain yogurt or would the consistency be too thin?
