Walden farms is a crock guys, google it. It's fattening stuff, even though it claims to have no calories.

Greek yogurt- fresh dill- white vinegar for a creamy dressing- good on a salad with lots of greens, cucumbers, lean meat(chicken, fish)

I use rice-wine vinegar, peanut butter, hot pepper flakes for a spicy thai dressing- good with a salad full of greens, peppers, onions

I have been adding sliced strawberries to salads for sweetness. I also agree with various herbs (mint, cilantro, etc.) Someone said mango :). I also like spinach mixed in with my lettuce.

yes, a little dijon mustard adds body and thickness to dressings.
also experiment with herbs... add a little tarragon and garlic to balsamic vinegar and evoo in a blender with some mustard and S&P... yum!

you can also do that but and swap out the garlic and tarragon for preserves like raspberry or apricot for a sweeter dressing.

depending on the salad ingredients try the juice of an orange with evoo...

Feta cheese is a good one. You can even get fat-free feta that tastes pretty good.

My favorite salad "dressing" is finely diced avocado, fresh squeezed lemon juice, a few grinds of black pepper, and some Johnny's seasoning salt. Sounds kind of weird, but it is delicious, and I don't have to wonder what's in it, unlike commercial bottled dressings.

I eat lots and lots of salads. Favorite is balsamic vinegar with a pinch of olive oil. Also use homemade salsa and mango salsa as dressings. I make a salad with chopped tomatoes, cukes and onions, then put on lemon juice with a bit of olive oil. I put that on mixed greens. They are all fabulous. The trick is to "think outside the box" and find what works for you.

I have found a number of the dressings offered on Sparks people have milk in them. I am lactose intollerant and would like some ides of other type of recipes with no milk or yogurt. Thanks for your help.

For a little added kick, but no extra calories, stir in some dijon mustard and fresh herbs into your regular balsamic and oil mix. Also, for a sweeter dressing stir a little agave into white vinegar and oil. You can also add fresh squeezed lemon or orange juice over greens followed by a small drizzle of oil,

Hello sparkers!
I'm an avid salad eater and I love my extravirgin olive oil with some balsamic vinegar to add some flavor. But I want some alternatives to this.
What can I add to my salads for flavor but not extra fat?
(I know olive oil is good fat, I allways end up eating too much of it!)
