    1 tablespoon Paul Newman's lite Italian and then spritzer squirts of Wegman's mango vinegar. Another is spritzer squirts of olive oil and squirts of raspberry vinegar.

    i love, love boathouse yogurt dressings. They are in the refrigerated section with the maries and bobs big boy fattening stuff. quite a few are only 30-45 calories for 2 tablespoons and they do not have preservatives and crap in them and they are super yummy. do not taste diet at all. i have tried so many, and these are the best by far. love the blue cheese, the salsa ranch and the vinaigrette.

    i also love pear champagne from trader joes. :)

    another favorite: Rothschild farms wasabi raspberry mustard (10 calories per teaspoon) with a little bit of olive oil and a lot of balsamic vinegar.

    I really don't like too many salad dressings. I'm good with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Maybe grate some parmesan on top, too.

    I like to mix my own with EVOO, white balsamic vinegar, dijon mustard, dash of white pepper and a hint of sea salt.

    I like making my own. Mine kind of play on the idea of using an acid, an herb, and an emulsifier. For a light take on Tex-Mex or Southwest style salads, I like Lime juice, cilantro, salt, pepper, a dash of cumin or coriander, and olive oil. I also like using vinegar (champagne wine or red wine), tarragon or oregano, and whole-grain dijon mustard. That formula seems to work for me.

    I use fresh salsa, it's so delish and so low in calories and everything else since it's fresh. No crazy sodium or anything. Gives it a little kick!

    I like Annies lite, Drew's, Seeds of Change and Bragg's are my fav's dressings. Also, lately I've been using Cardidni's Light Greek Vinagrette.

    Happy salad eating!

    Newman's Own Lite Raspberry and Walnut dressing. Yummy. His Sesame ginger is also good for and Asian tasting flavor and less calories that the raspberry walnut.

    I use any dressing that I like that is low carb and has very little sugar. And really, a little goes a long way. Let's face it, if you're going to have a salad several times a week and stick with it, you need to have a dressing that actually tastes good. A trick I like to use is to have my dressing on the the side (no more than a couple of TBSP) dip your fork in the dressing and then get a fork full of salad. You have flavor with every bite and use very little dressing doing it!

    I absolutely love Bolthouse Farms yogurt based dressings. 40 calories per 2 tbsp and they are delish! You can find them in the fresh produce isle.There are close to a half dozen different flavors.

    I like to make my own with dijon mustard, lemon juice, dill, salt and EVOO. Sometimes I add smoked paprika and granulated garlic for a kick.

    No bottle dressings at all.

    Either make my own with olive oil, balsamic vinegar (or other type), dijon mustard, salt, pepper

    BUT I have found that I much prefer ONLY Extra Virgin Olive Oil and salt/pepper. I taste the veggies better and it makes it rich. About 1-2 tablespoons depending if it is a small or large salad.
