    Hummus, usually with nutritional yeast. There are so many flavors of hummus now, so there are a lot of options.

    I have a ton of bottled dressings on hand; I could make my own, but I'm too lazy.

    Before I became intolerant to avocado, I used to love to mix some homemade guacamole with a little sour cream, and toss my taco salads in it. It was so good; I miss it!

    I often have 1 T of Newman's ranch plus cottage cheese than equals the weight of the lettuce. So, if I have 80 grams of lettuce, I have 80 grams of cottage cheese.

    Alternatively, EVOO plus red wine or balsamic vinegar, plus garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

    Often make my own. I also usually have some Newman's light Italian or balsamic vinaigrette in the fridge.

    Balsamic glaze, tzatziki sauce, or just plain old-fashion Russian.

    At restaurants, I always get Caesar. For store-bought, I like Panera's Fuji apple vinaigrette (which I can't buy locally, argh). Most often, I make my own at home w/ olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt and pepper.

    My fav is Lite Sweet Vidalia Onion by Ken's Steak House. Although when salad ingredients are in season I'll often just do a squeeze of lemon.

    I make my own also, equal parts apple cider vinegar to extra virgin olive oil. I add various spices and herbs I have laying around so each batch is always a little different.

    Kraft Cesar. Not low cal, but since it has a strong flavor, I rarely need more than 2 tbs at a time.

    When I used to eat more salads, I made this balsamic vinegar/sugar free maple syrup mixture. It had like 15 calories for 2 tbls and was very low sodium. I gave salads up for a long time but recently started testing the waters again so it's either the sweet onion teriyaki sauce if I get it from Subway or I just tried (like 3 minutes ago) Bolthouse Farms Cucumber Ranch. 35 calories, thick, and really good!

    Another great dressing with protein that I used to use is bean dip. I should start buying it again.

    Lime juice, sometimes some salsa, or balsamic glaze/vinegar, also there is a apple cidar variety that's about 30 cals per 2 tbps. Also mint for dressing, I buy some locally from an arteson, but also there is mint vinegar sauce (like the kind for lamb) that i use on salads- little to no cals.

    Good quality balsamic vinegar and toasted sesame oil. Just need a very small amount.
