I also like Skinny Girl, all of them actually very tasty and low in calories:)0

Vinegars. Mix with mustard or olive oil or both or just use some good quality balsamic on its own. Lots of super easy options.
I also like including various pepper sauces (on their own or in a mix) and making a spicy Asian dressing with lime juice, soy sauce, and sriarcha. Excellent for salads based more on cucumbers and/or tomatoes or other non-lettuce-based salads.
I don't get not using dressing unless you really don't care for them; it's easy to make a very low cal dressing, and even when I use olive oil (which is usually) I just use a small amount, you don't need nearly as much as in a traditional vinaigrette.0 -
You can also try squeezing fresh lemon and lime on your fresh greens with a touch of salt and pepper. When I first was told to try, after an eye roll (extra, extra ranch loving girl here), I was really surprised how tasty and refreshing the salad was. Especially the lime if you have avocado in your salad.1

Bernstein's Light Cheese Fantastico. I add extra fresh garlic and some balsamic vinegar. Very low cal and yummy. Aside of that I make alot of my own but for commercial that's the one I would pick.0

One of my favorites is walnut oil, orange zest, a little orange and lemon juice, salt and pepper. Mixing and matching different oils with different acids is a great way to keep it interesting. It works for marinades and pasta/rice/ grain dishes too.1

I mash avocado with EVOO, sea salt, black pepper, squeezed lemon juice, & minced red onions. Then I add a bit of water to thin it out. I really enjoy it. (This is great if you are increasing healthy fat intake.)1

Trader Joe's has several delicious options in their refrigerated section with reasonable calorie counts. My favorites are the avocado green goddess (20 cals per serving!) A creamy cilantro one and a spicy peanut one. I want to say the other 2 have 60 cals a serving or less. They also have carrot turmeric and almond butter flavors but I haven't tried those.0

I like Ken's Ranch with bacon (but many other brands in the market), citrus dressings taste good on salads with berries, sour cream mixed with salsa to top a taco salad. I use very little dressing though. 1/2 tablespoon. I never use low calorie.0

Newman’s own! I love all Newman’s products so much! I just use the serving size or less, just enough for a flavour pop and I’m good.0

I love Walden Farms dressings! Except for the ranch - nothing compares to Hidden Valley LOL0 -
The best that I have found is Old Cape Cod Sesame Ginger. Only 40 calories per serving but packed with flavor. Taste very good on any meat or tofu that I toss into my salads as well. It's tough finding a good flavored dressing that doesn't add 100 calories. I also use straight up balsamic vinegar from time to time. It's got lots of health benefits and you only need a little.0
