Recommendations for lite salad dressing?

Question

I've tasted a LOT of awful lite salad dressings in my life; the only one I like is a reduced calorie ranch dressing that Walmart carries. Does anyone have a favorite lite dressing among the name brands?

Answer 1

Not a store bought but easy to make and delicious.
1. Mix 3 parts extra virgin olive oil to one part red wine or apple cider vinegar. Shake and enjoy.
2. Mix 3 parts extra virgin olive oil and 1 part basalmic vinegar. Shake and you'll love it.
You can also add some garlic, oregano, parsley, Parmesan cheese, etc. for a different flavor.
It will be much cheaper than buying bottles of dressing.

Answer 5

Try mixing 5 parts extra-virgin olive oil to 1 part vinegar and add raw garlic and French mustard to taste - it beats anything you'll buy in a jar! Btw the French call this 'vinaigrette'

Answer 6

Make your own...
Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Red wine vinegar! Season it with salt and pepper. Otherwise, no...I have bought so many fat free or low fat dressings and they all suck! The ranch ones are the worst.

Try "Ken's." They make a lot of really tasty lite dressings.

Another thing to try is just lemon juice. Gives everything a nice zesty, crisp taste.
