So...I've just found out that Newman's Own Light Balsamic is freaking amazing.

What other good low cal ones are there? I've been using safeway brand salad spritzers (1 cal per squirt). The asian sesame ginger is good.

    Try Bolthouse Farms yogurt dressings. I use the ranch, thousand island and bleu cheese dressings. They have 45 calories for 2 tbsp and taste DELISH! They are usually found in the produce department in the dressing cooler. I also use the Safeway sesame ginger spritzer...YUM!

    Newmans Own Light Itallian is amazing too, I had it with a McDonalds salad once and went to buy it and couldn't find it at my local grocery store but oh man was it good!

    I really like Berenstein's Light Cheese Fantastico dressig! It is so flavorful I only need a half of a serving! Also, my husband like Newman's Light Sesame Ginger Dressing-it is a little sweet for me, but great if you like that!

    I like a wet salad so I take fat free mayo and add water until it is thin. Other than that I use the Wish Bone Spritzers.

    We keep a bottle of the Light Cheese Fantastico as well! My wife loves that one...It's a little intense for me but good if I'm out of others.

    I love the Ken's Steak House Dressings...light options. My favs are Raspberry Pecan, Raspberry Walnut, Honey Mustard and Honey French. They have many choices that are low-cal.....sure there will be one that you would like.

    I haven't seen the wish bone spritzers...but I'm not gonna lie...the thinned out mayo idea makes me gag a little.

    I just came across Kraft's Caesar Vinigrette! I'm very happy about this one because it has the great flavor of Caesar, but only 70 cals per serving. Its not heavy like a typical Caesar.

    Wish Bone - Light Asian Sesame, Greek & Superfruit Berry. Love them. 70 cals per serving. You also can't go wrong with mixing up EVOO & Balsamic Vinegar. I do 1 tbsp EVOO & 2 Tbsp Balsamic. 140 cals.

    Kens steakhouse northern Italian lite dressing is really good. Hidden valley ranch lite is good also. Those are the only two i have found that i like. Don't try the fat free bleu cheese, it costs me over 5 bucks for a bottle and it was so bad i threw it away!

    Oh my gosh...I was going to comment on how much I looovvveee Newmans Own Lite Balsamic dressing. It is so good. And at 45 calories for 2 tblsp it is perfect. I add it to a bunch of organic lettuce (3 cups) and it fills me up all afternoon.

    So i am eating something I love for very few calories and I can save most of my daily calories for a delicious dinner.
