Salsa (especially homemade) makes a good alternative to salad dressing. I've also seen a low cal/low fat ranch dressing on here using fat free Greek yogurt. I don't have the recipe, though. I'm sure you can easily find it with the search.0
-
16 oz. of any 0% greek plain yogurt
1 packet hidden valley ranch
a little bit of water as needed to liquify
This is a great low fat, low calorie rich dressing, I love it. And I just omit the water if I want to use it as a dip for my vegetables.0 -
I like to mix greek yogurt with salsa for a southwestern style. My other go to is coconut milk, cilantro & lime. Equal parts in the magic bullet, wallah. So simple, fresh and delicious!0

mayo, sour cream, buttermilk, garlic, onion, white pepper, parsley, and whatever else strikes my fancy.
It's ranch. It's awesome. Leaves me feeling satisfied unlike oil and vinegar.0 -
If you are looking for something that is thick and creamy I love this one
Cucumber - With peel, raw, 30 g 5 0 1 0 0 0
Lemon juice - Raw, 0.5 lemon yields 6 0 2 0 0 0
Generic - Fresh Mint Leaves, 10 g 7 0 1 0 2 1
Cucumber - With peel, raw, 32 g 5 0 1 0 1 0
Garlic, 2 Cloves (I.E. 6 g) - Raw, 2 tsp (6g) 8 0 1 0 2 0
Marks and Spencer - Low Fat Natural Yoghurt, 125 g 94 8 10 2 0 0
The quantities above make 2 generous servings, you could really get 4 from it but I love it. Maybe make the day before as well to give the mind and garlic time to fuse with the yoghurt. Also you could use fat free yoghurt too xx0 -
I'm Thai. I always have my salads with Lime juice, sprinkle of salt and a lot of chili pepper... No oil, no sugar, no fat.
Is that all that's in Thai salad dressings? I loooove the salads at Thai restaurants - "yum" is a very good name for them! - so you've now inspired me to give this a shot at home.0 -
I love balsamic and olive oil (2:1) with crushed garlic and coarse ground pepper with a dash of kosher salt. I would let the mix sit in the fridge for at least an hour to let the garlic infuse into the mix. Also, if you want to have store-bought back ups, try Newmann's Own Lite Low-fat Sesame Ginger Salad Dressing.0

My fave dressing at the minute is a thai one..it makes a few servings
tablespoon lemongrass paste/puree
1 chopped garlic clove
1 chopped chilli
1/2 small shallot chopped
tablespoon lime juice
1/2 tablespoon red wine vinegar
tablespoon olive oil
This makes quite a thick sauce that you can thin down to taste with a little apple juice (the sweetness really works)
Enjoy!0 -
I use the same with some pepper in it.0

I like this one -- http://www.skinnytaste.com/2011/09/low-fat-buttermilk-ranch-dressing.html
She has other dressings too that are good.
Agreed. I love the blue cheese one and the tomato red wine.0 -

A pinch of salt and black papper
I normally add red onion to the mix...
Add the onion & garlic to a bowl
Add the parsley
Mix in the lime juice and olive oil
Add salt (if required) and black pepper to taste

I know I responded earlier, but this is what I've been eating the last couple of days:
about half a tablespoon of white cooking wine
about half a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
tablespoon of olive oil
about a tablespoon of lemon juice
healthy sprinkle each of garlic salt, black pepper, and dill
little squirt of Dijon mustard (maybe half a teaspoon?)'
Shake it all up and you're good to go.0
