    I use fresh pineapple juice or salsa on my salads, usually. Occassionally I go for the fat free ranch, or Italian.

    I don't think I would have lost any weight at all if it weren't for Ken's Caeser dressing lol. Not the fat free kind either =) I have at least one serving everyday.

    Maple Groves Farms makes some great tasting fat free dressings my favorites are the raspberry vingerette and the creamy poppyseed, only 35 calories to 2 table spoons, they are thin dressings and when you measure the 2 spoon fulls out it goes a very long way covering salad!!! Have not had a bad dressing from this company!!!

    What I use on my salads might not be for the timid.... I use straight red wine vinegar with some italian dressing spices from Penzy Spices. Is fat-free and barely any calories. It might be an aquired taste, though.

    Thousand Island is the only dressing I like and of course, one of the worst you can eat. I found Wishbone Light and it is 60 calories for 2 tbsp and it is SO good!!!! I don't really eat salads but like to dip various veggies in my dressing so I normally only eat 1-2 tbsp at a time.

    I am also a "salad shaker"! I don't like a ton of dressing, so I'll make a huge salad with chicken breast, lettuce, spinach, carrots, tomatoes, cucumber, broccoli, bell peppers, etc etc., add 1 T of dressing, maybe some fresh ground lemon pepper, and shake it all up. Yum!!

    I like Kraft Light Catalina (reduced fat)- the serving size is 2 Tbsp= 50 cal
    but that's what I use for a 3 c. salad-
    generally I only use 1/2 that...

    and often I'll mix the dressing in a small dish, add a small am't of lemon juice and/or vinegar to it- still has the same taste, but adds no more calories.
