    You guys listed most of my go-to dressings but I recently tried Skinnygirl raspberry vinaigrette and it was SO BLAND. Yeah, it has barely any cals but barely any flavor either.

    I make a Strawberry Vinaigrette. 2 tablespoons has 10 calories, 75 mg sodium, 3 carbs, 1 fiber, 2 sugar. No fat!
    2-1/2 Tbsp (40 ml) rice vinegar
    2 Tbsp (30 ml) fresh lemon juice
    1 small garlic clove, peeled
    1 Tbsp chopped fresh chives
    1-1/2 Tbsp fresh basil leaves
    1-1/2 Tbsp fresh Italian (flat leaf) parsley leaves
    1/2 teaspoon sea salt
    1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    1 pound (454 g) fresh strawberries, stemmed
    Blend until smooth. I put it all in my Vitamix and it turns out great and makes 2 cups. I usually make half a recipe at a time.

    I love some of those already listed: Panera Asian Sesame, Ken's light honey dijon, Light italian from olive garden and also reduced fat buffalo ranch from wishbone (I think?), which has 70 calories for 2 tablespoons and tastes great!

    Panera Bread Poppyseed dressing. 30 calories for 30 grams. So delicious! I had it on my salad for lunch today.

    This one and I love Annie's Lite Raspberry Vinaigrette which is 40 calories for 31 grams. I make the same salad almost every day; it has baby spinach, tri-color peppers, cucumbers, strawberries, blueberries, and sunflower seeds and the Annie's dressing is the perfect dressing for it.

    I use the exact same dressing, this and a low-fat balsamic & basil vinaigrette. Most low-fat vinaigrettes are actually very decent.

    I like OGB (olive oil, garlic, and basil) on my salad. If I can't get that, then I use Ranch dressing, but I do a little trick to save some calories. I dip my fork in the dressing (ask for it on the side) and that'll keep you from using all of it, and there's just enough on it to have a bit of taste.

    I usually hate low calorie dressings. I'm a full fat ranch lover and hate the light stuff but I have found two dressings I actually REALLY like. Ken's lite honey mustard is amazing also Olive Garden Light Italian. I usually can't stand Italian but this one is so good and flavorful. You can see the Parmesan and stuff in it and it's only 30 calories for 2 tablespoon (2f/2c/0p). Just thought I would share because when I first started watching what I ate salads were a way to get in a good amount of veggies and nutrients without being super calorie heavy. Anyone have any other suggestions not only for myself but for others who might have the same problems finding good alternatives.

    Those are actually my top 2 favorites as well! I also love Kraft Lite Balsamic Vinegarette. I think its 20 calories per serving and it tastes delicious on almost everything!

    Low-fat french dressing + a soft boiled egg. The egg adds protein and bulk to the salad but when the yolk mixes with the french dressing, it is super tasty, almost like a Caesar salad!
