good salad dressing

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.0

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!!0

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 dressings0 -
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.0 -

I mix extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice and garlic. I do add raw honey from time to time.0

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?
