This is a copy-cat thread inspired by southerngirl's salad thread....but I was wondering about really good salad dressings.....the kind that you would eat even if you weren't counting calories.


Thanks for all the great ideas,

Newman's Own Lights - Raspberry Walnut and Balsamic are my faves.

Balsamic vinegar and 1tbs of flaxseed oil are what I usually use.

Trader Ming's Sesame Soy Ginger Vinaigrette from Trader Joe's. 35 cals 0 fat for 2 tbsp, but it has a very full flavor.

Right now I like straight red wine vinegar spritzed on all salads. If I totally wasn't counting I would have to say Poppyseed or Bleu Cheese.

I like Annie's Gingerly Vinaigrette. It has a little fat per serving, but it aids in the absorption of vitamins, so I'm all for it!

Annie's Creamy Asiago Cheese. 80 cals for 2 tbsp, and SO GOOD.

Ranch. Its the only thing i'll eat. I always have Light ranch, not no-fat though ugh. If i have salad with fruit on it, a balsamic dressing is good.

Newman's Own Light honey mustard

Mine isn't very low cal, but is my favorite - Annie's Goddess dressing. Delightfully wretchedly tahini goodness. The other low cal dressings by that company are lovely as well, I do the one Glory mentioned quite a bit (Gingerly Vinaigrette) and like the new cucumber one. I'm all about Annie's Naturals.

I'm with chick_in_the_hat. I like Newman's Own vinegrette's. I tried the ginger asian one and didn't like it. I got the Newman's Own spray the other day, but haven't tried it yet.

Trader Joe's has a cilantro dressing that is really flavorful and only 45 cal/2tbsp.
(of course, you have to like cilantro tho )

I use wishbones red wine vineagrette spritzer... Its yummy and only 1 calorie per spray. 6 sprays will more than do a salad as well...

My favorite (if not watching what I eat - and what helped me to get into the round shape I am now in...) is a warm bacon dressing on a spinach salad. One of the main ingredients in the dressing is bacon fat But OH MY YUMMY!!

Now my favorite is the spray honey mustard dressing.

Does the Annies Gingerley Vinigarette taste like the wonderful ginger dressing you get at a Japanese restaurant? I absolutely love those and have been trying to find one like that.
