    I am an absolute dressing addict! I probably have ten half-full bottles sitting in the fridge right now, lol! But my go-to favorites are:

    Balsamic vinaigrette (typically Newman's)
    Raspberry poppyseed vinaigrette (Kraft is pretty good)
    Low Fat Sesame Ginger (Newman's)
    Hidden Valley Spicy Ranch
    Tuscan House Italian (Kraft)

    Lately, I've been mixing 1 tbsp of spicy ranch with 1 tbsp of the Tuscan Italian. It's amaaaazing, and tastes especially good with buffalo chicken on a salad.

    But, really, I buy all kinds of dressings (I love trying new things!) and I typically don't go for low fat or whatever. The dressing is sometimes what makes the salad, so have fun with it! Just don't drown your salad in it. :tongue:

    I put salsa on my salad. Really hot salsa

    ^^ This and when I am making it fancy sometimes I mix in a tablespoon or two of sour cream to make it creamy salsa.

    NOTHING!
    all i add is some salt and pepper!
    Put things like onions and kalamata olives in your salad, along with feta cheese.
    These taste great, and if you eat some in each bit, they add the flavor you lack in dressing.

    Ditto except I would have to say ranch or caesar :-)

    I just made my own buttermilk ranch dressing with 1 cup of low fat buttermilk, 1/4 cup mayo, 1/4 light sour cream, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, and some chopped herbs and salt and pepper. Its so good and about 60 cals for 2 tbsp.

    My husband and I (more him) use just some Franks Red Hot sauce. We also have found that some of the Litehouse vinagrettes are really low calorie. I think their Sesame Seed Ginger one is like 30 cal for 2Tbs!

    My homemade ranch dressing (44 cals/2Tbs) - equal parts sour cream, yogurt and mayo, add a splash of milk for consistency (all light of course), mixed with a blend of parsley, basil, pepper, garlic, dried onion and dill.

    I love my Ranch and since I can't have the real thing, the next best thing is Hidden Valley Fat Free Ranch, which is 30 calories per 2 TBSP. Not too bad.

    I get the Daisy Light sour cream and mix the Ranch dip powder in. It's about 45 cals/ 2Tbs. A very good and healthy substitute to regular ranch! Recommend!!! :D
