Salad Dressings?

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!

I make the Fake-Out Ranch Dressing

1 cup buttermilk
1 cup cottage cheese
1 packet Ranch Seasoning

Blend until creamy

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!

Bolthouse Salsa Ranch...yummy!!

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.

I make my own salad dressings. If you want recipes email me.

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.

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.

I love Newman's Light Honey Mustard Dressing!
Only 35 cals for a TBSP.

my faves are -
kraft free caesar italian
ff ranch - LOVE the target brand (market pantry)
newman's own light honey mustard

This ^ and Ken's Northern Italian w/ basil and Romano

If I'm going super low, I'll just use vinegar sparingly and no oil (i.e. cider vinegar or sherry and balsamic are good if you don't want too much savory). The secret to going with just the vinegar and still making it taste good it what else you put in the salad i.e: nuts, fruit (grapes, papaya, melon), roasted vegetables

Or I really really really like homemade lemon & poppy seed dressing:
1 cup yoghurt (soy or dairy)
2 tbsps lemon juice
2tbsps honey
1 tsp poppy seeds

Takes 5 mins, lasts up to 5 days and makes roughly 18 tablespoons at 16 cals tablespoon (when made with soya yoghurt).

Hey there. Also a huge fan of the Newman's Own Lite Basalmic.

The Tzatziki sounds like a great idea. Where do you purchase that? Is it in a certain section at the grocery?

I know its not considered a salad dressing, but I've been using Tzatziki a lot lately in my salads. Nom Nom!

I get it in the deli section at our grocery store (well beside the deli section) where they have different pre-made dips and such! There are lots of recipes online to make it yourself if you wanted
