i make my own salad dressings. taste better.

My go to is 2-3T of balsamic vinegar and 1T of olive oil, plus some salt.

you can do it with pretty much any vinegar or lemon juice.

Honestly, just follow the serving size of any dressing you would like to use and you'll be fine. I believe most are 2 tablespoons and after you toss the salad ( ) you'll find it's more than enough.

People just dump dressing on salads without realizing they've added 500-600 calories to their "healthy" meal.

If you're just eating salads it don't matter what dressing you put on it.

i like homemade vinaigrette. use different vinegars when you want a change. the following vinegars are good IMO:
balsamic
apple cider
red wine

also sometimes i just go olive oil, lemon juice, salt & pepper. it's particularly awesome on an arugula salad.

Jasons Deli Ranch. It is full fat mayo with buttermilk and buttermilk recipe package. shite yeah.

I like cheddar cheese and sunflower seeds on top with some Gouda possibly.

I only get a little big of the chocolate pudding stuff at Jasons Deli because I feel fat after doing so well.

I don't necessarily go out of my way to eat healthy. However, I don't really care for salad dressings because they can be overpowering.

I usually put a little bit of spicy salsa on a salad. Healthier than salad dressing and I like it better. And I'm too lazy to mess with making dressing.

Homemade dressing, olive oil and vinegar mixture with some Italian herbs. I use very little dressing anyway.

EVOO
White wine or champagne vinegar

I have two.

Balsamic vinegar and Vegetable Oil with Ground Black Pepper to taste.

Balsamic vinegar and Olive Oil with a bit of ground Parmesan cheese.

Be careful with the oil, but usually this leads sub-200 calorie dressings.
