    Do you like pickles? If you do then you might like this.

    I put some sauerkraut (edens organic in glass jar cause it is full of probiotics like in yogurt), cayenne pepper and a tbs of nutritional yeast.

    Mix it through and you get all that vitamin B from the yeast and probiotics for your digestive tract and it taste all vinegary (if you like that sort of thing)

    I use Kraft's light asian toasted sesame dressing and it's really good. Also it's only 50 calories for 2 tablespoons. That is usually enough too, depending on the size of the salad.

    Best thing I ever did was start using salsa instead of salad dressing. It's even better if you make a batch yourself with real tomatoes instead of canned. You can control your sodium and the "heat" by making it yourself!

    I use full fat ranch, Olive Garden's Italian, and Caesar a lot. I also use full fat vinaigrettes when/if I find. I don't do light dressings because they usually have more sugar than regular... and I don't mind the few extra calories to ditch the sugar.

    I love the Kraft line! I alternate between the Fat Free/Low Calorie French, Thousand Island and Italian! All are 50 calories/2 tbsp (I believe) and very nummy!

    That sounds like such a great idea! Will have to try!

    I use balsamic, flavored white balsamic (I have lemon and cranberry orange), salsa, or watered down dressing. I love Ken's French, but it's super thick and sticky, so after I thin it out I only end up using a tablespoon at most.

    pickles are usually in my salad, so pickle juice is my "dressing" of choice. Lemon as well or just plain no dressing! I did find a great oil free dressing over seas that I have not yet found here in the states but I am always on the hunt!!

    Lemon juice! The best is that even if you eat at a restaurant, they always have it!

    I make my own ranch type dressing. Unfortunately I don't really measure the spices.

    1 cup of plain greek yogurt
    1/2 cup light mayo
    chopped fresh parsley and chives
    generous amounts of onion powder, garlic powder, pepper
    optional: sprinkle of salt and italian seasoning

    The Italian that you mix yourself. comes with its own container that tells how much oil/vinnegar/water to mix. I swap the vinnegar and oil for more vinnegar, less oil. Healthier and tastes great!

    Same here! Good Seasons. I use the cruet it come with, but i put vinegar up to the "hips" of the cruet, add the seasonings, put water up to the top of the oil line then add 2T of oil. I brings the calories from 130 per 2T to 30 per 2T!!
