I like to mix a teaspoon of low cal cream(ranch, caesar, creamy cucmber) dressings with 2 tablespoons of cottage cheese, you still get the flavor from the dressing without losing the creamy texture.

I like Kraft Light Done Right Three Cheese Ranch. I also don't mind Hidden Valley Light Ranch. I can't do fat free, haven't food a single one I like.

MMM that three cheese ranch sounds good Switzie! I'll keep an eye out for it.

I love crumbly bleu cheese on a salad, it's actually not that high in fat or cals, and you really only need a small amount because the taste is so strong. Then I have a low-fat bleu cheese dressing, maybe only a tbsp to avoid that "drenched in dressing" taste that I hate so much! (I think Wishbone has a pretty good reduced-fat bleu cheese.)

I water down my creamy dressings. There is basically no effect on the taste and they spread over the salad nicer when they're thinned out.

I love Lighthouse 1000 Islands, so I thin it out and for a taco salad, mix it 1/2 with FF italian. Yum.

If you have a la madaline they sell an AMAZING FF Caesar that has 20 calories for 2 TBSP.

I avoid several additives and specifics sweeteners (hfcs & artificial) in foods, so I make my dressings at home. Add in the bonus that it's just cheaper to make them yourself, so I don't miss store bought.

I make regular vinegarette quite a bit, but I use a 1:1 ratio on the vinegar and oil.

I also found this great recipe for a lite version of Amy's Goddess Dressing that I love! I used it so much last year I got sick of it, but I've recently started making it again. The nutritional info is with the recipe. I think it's around 19 cals per serving.

If for some reason the link goes away, google "susans lite goddess dressing."

Also, if you really like full fat dressings you can use the fork trick. When I go out to eat I splurge on blue cheese dressing (on the side) and I just lightly dip the tines of my fork into the dressing before taking a bite. You get the flavor with much less dressing.

Ooh, I love Trader Joe's Lowfat Parmesan Ranch - it is thinner than a typically creamy dressing so it goes a bit further, but has such great flavor.

If you love creamy dressing without the calories or fat that comes with it, there is a dressing by "walden farms" that comes in ranch, ceasar, and blue cheese. It has zero calories, zero fat, and zero carbs. It does have 240mg of sodium per serving though. I found it at my local meijers grocery store.
