I need a low cal salad dressing recipe

olive oil and balsamic vinegar is 70 Kcal per tablespoon. where did you see the 350kcal dressings? that's very high? perhaps that was for the whole salad?

I use la choy sauces the have a wide variety that range from 10-35 calories a serving
now these arent dressings they are stir fry sauces and teriyaki sauce and orange chicken sauce you get the point things like that but they are SO FULL of flavor add some hot sauce to them and you wont even know your eating a salad

I find balsamic vinegar just a little too tart for me. Any other suggestions?

I also use vinegars. Just plain vinegars. Balsamic. Or to cut the strong balsamic flavor, mix it with some white wine vinegar, or just use white wine vinegar with some oregano for flavor (depending on the other ingredients).

Here are a few that I know of.

Basic Vinaigrette
Perfect for any mixed green salad.

Rub the inside of a small mixing bowl with a crushed garlic clove: discard clove. Add 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard and 1/3 cup red wine vinegar: whisk until smooth. Whisk in 1/3 cup lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon honey. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

Orange-Ginger Dressing
Use to dress baby bok choy, bean sprouts or other fresh Asian greens.

In a small bowl, use a fork to blend 3 tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate or orange marmalade, 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar and 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce. Add 2 teaspoons sesame oil. Stir in 2 tablespoons sliced scallion greens, 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger, and pepper to taste.

Transfer garlic to a small bowl and whisk in 3/4 cup buttermilk, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, dash of Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons sliced scallion greens, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, pinch of dried thyme and some freshly ground black pepper.

Jenready,

I just stole all your recipes

Season some greek yogurt. It makes a nice, thick dip or dressing. If it's too thick, add a bit of milk or buttermilk. I throw in some garlic crushed or powder, oregano, basil, salt, pepper whatever sounds good. Stir it up and let it sit for a while and you will have a yummy dressing without the guilt.

If you want it richer, throw in a little mayo, then it will really taste like ranch.

I just had an artichoke dipped in Greek Yog dipping sauce for lunch. Yummmm.

I often use vinegars with a drizzle of olive or flavored olive oil. Right now I have a lemon infused one that is really good.

I don't have a recipe but if you're looking for low calorie I suggest Walden Farms salad dressing. They have 0 calories and actually taste really good! You can order online or I know some grocery stores carry their stuff.

I get the hidden valley buttermilk ranch packet, add a cup of light mayo and a cup of lowfat 1% buttermilk and use that. It's soooo good! Like restaurant ranch! And it's 72 calories for 2 Tbsp!

I only use good quality Balsamic Vinegar, red wine vinegar or white wine vinegar as dressing. It's 10-15 calories max. I like my salads tart, especially with beets, walnuts and a bit of goat cheese.

^ This. Save your calories for something else. If you need some sweetness add craisins or mandarin orange segments.

I make a balsamic dijon dressing:

2 tbsp sugar free pancake syrup
1 tbsp dijon mustard
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp water (if wanted )

for this entire thing its 43 calories & sodium is 238. of course that may vary slightly depending on brands but not much. I've been really watching my sodium the last few weeks, so I always go with the lower sodium choices. this has worked well for me & i always have more than i really need. can also be used as a glaze (no water). The original recipe called for equal parts of all ingredients, but I find it tastes better with the extra syrup. hope this helps!
