Eating more salads and veg now but I'm struggling to find a sauce or dressing to go with it. I can eat them as is but its very plain and I'd lose interest pretty quick so I currently use a bit of store bought salad dressing.
Anyone have any healthy recipies for sauces or dressing or anything store bought you have found thats good ?

Ken's Lite Caesar or Ken's Honey Dijon. I alternate.0

I like to mix a teaspoon of mustard into about 3 tablespoon of fat free natural yogurt, add a tablespoon of white wine vinegar and salt and pepper. This is a great little dressing that can be altered with the addition of whatever herbs, spices, garlic, chilli you prefer - even a little honey or sweetener. I particularly like this on a simple apple, radish and celery salad.0

I keep it clean, Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Red Wine Vinegar with Roasted Garlic.0

I am obsessed with the Light Asian Toasted Sesame by Kraft. It is so good.0

Extra Virgin olive oil and a squeeze of lemon or lime juice? Or balsamic vinegar?0

Asian dressing without oil: 3 tbsp rice vinegar; 2 tbsp soy sauce; 1 tbsp agave nectar; 1 clove garlic minced; 1 tsp minced fresh ginger. Sweet & yummy!0

The Paul Newman stuff is generally pretty tasty, but somewhat expensive.
Good olive oil and vinegar (or sometimes just vinegar) works pretty well for me in a pinch.0 -
I use fresh salsa.0

I love fresh strawberries with balsamic vinegar. I place the strawberries in the vinegar and use a small food processor to mix well. If you let it set overnight it is great.
Also there is a company with a zero calorie food called Walden Farms. I hear rumor their products are great. Im waiting to get to the store to try a few.0 -

This is what I do. As a variation, I recently made a strawberry basil syrup and have been mixing it with olive oil and balsamic-- so good on a strawberry goat cheese salad.0 -
Yes, Newman's Own honey mustard... gives you the taste you like, but not the fat!0

Me too! This stuff is amazing. Only 50 calories in 2 tbsp.0 -
Bumping for ideas...

Balsamic vinegar or lemon juice! Yum!0

Another thing I do (this is more of a sauce/dip but could be used on a salad with a hearty lettuce): mix plain yogurt with some tahini and za'atar (add a bit of lemon juice and/or olive oil if you think it needs it).0

This is my favorite salad! I eat it all the time! All the flavors mix together so well and it's just heaven!
3 cups fresh baby spinach
1/2 cup sliced fresh strawberries
1/4 cup sliced honey-roasted almonds
Dressing: (Mix in a cup with a lid so you can shake it all up and mix it well.)
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar (I use Splenda)0 -
I use fresh salsa.
Me too! i especially like salasa mixed with a little plain greek yogurt. I also use straight balsamic vinegar.0 -
I just use about a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar and half a tablespoon of olive oil. I also like Annie's dressings; they're organic, cheap, and full of good ingredients. Many of them are VERY low cal, also.0

My favorite is Bolthouse farms Yogurt Dressing - it's SO delicious (especially the honey mustard) and it's about 40 calories in 2 teaspoons and is all natural with no preservatives, and, well, try it out and see for yourself!!! it's a great healthy alternative =]0

I like the Eating Right salad dressing sprays from Safeway, They are really light but have strong flavours.
I love the Asian one, it is something like 10 calories, 1 carb and, 0 fat for 10 sprays.0
