    I don't use "dressing" per say ... I use Pace Picante` Sauce since I usually eat my salad with grilled chicken. Way less calories and 0 fat.

    I buy (in little single serving containers) the sweet onion vinegarette at SUBWAY...I buy like 10 at a time! they only charge like .25 each and they are portable and great on sandwiches and next to nothing on cals...like 20 per TBSP...LOVE IT! ask them and they will serve u!
    It has the sweet taste I crave and love it on grilled chicken sandwiches!

    dont be afraid to look up dressings from your favorite restaurant and if its DO-ABLE by calories (check their nutrition lite) then ask them for some to go....It seems like I love it at the restaurant, but cant buy it at the stores....

    I make my own using equal parts of olive oil and lemon juice (usually 1 tbsp of each). It's light and refreshing (I am not huge on heavy dressings...) and tastes great with a greek salad. Salsa is also great if you have a southwestern-style salad (black beans, corn, etc).

    Usually make my own, I have assorted vinegars, including white wine, red wine (both 0 calories for a tablespoon), balsamic, white balsamic, raspberry blush balsamic - add a little water and a little oil - you can season to taste with salt and pepper and add Mrs. Dash Italian. If I use bottled it is usually Ken's Light Northern Italian - it is very good. Also like the Light Catalina (red french).

    Salt and pepper. I hate wet lettuce.

    Oh, sometimes I also use guacamole.

    Olive oil, balsamic, mustard (think stone-ground, not french's yellow) & black pepper. Zingy & fabulous!

    I don't usually use dressing, but when I do, I use non fat plain greek yogurt mixed with Ranch or Onion dip mix.

    This might sound weird but I put a bit of sesame oil on my salads. I'm not too keen on dressing.

    I actually dont usually use any kind of dressing, but if I want to do something special I put honey mustard dressing on it.

    I just tried this one on some cashew crusted chicken (would work with a nice salad too!) (serves 4-6)

    2 tbsp dijon mustard
    2 tbsp honey
    1 1/2 tbsp white vinegar

    Combine the honey, vinegar and mustard in a small ceramic bowl and whisk until honey has been absorbed. Or put ingredients in a small bottle and shake until mixed.

    I love Mango Balsamic Vinegar and Pomegranate Balsamic vinegar... only 20 calories per tbsp. I also dip veggies in it sometimes. So good!

    I make my own greek dressing:

    1/2 cup lemon juice
    1/2 cup olive oil
    1/4 cup plain greek yogurt
    1 tbsp fresh oregano
    .5 oz feta cheese
    1 tsp minced garlic
    2 pitted kalamata (greek) olives
    3 tbsp olive brine (olive juice from the jar)

    I put it all in a measuring cup and use my hand blender until the oregano is chopped and the dressing is fully mixed.

    I found a bangin yogurt ceasar parmigiano dressing from Bolthouse Farms...only 50 cals for 2 tbls and 2 grams of protein in that and it's a little tangy but pretty close to regular creamy ceasar dressing. Love it!
