Low Fat Salad Recipes

I’m a Ranch dressing junkie….but of course, I’m trying to cut calories. What are some good alternatives to store-bought dressings? I love tuna salad on salads, but that’s filled with mayo. The idea of yogurt on salad kind of turns my stomach. Anyone have any ideas? Maybe something with cottage cheese or a mayo alternative to tuna salad? )
And nope, I know myself and I just won’t eat a salad without dressing! ) I can tell myself that I will, but I just know that I won’t…
Thanks guys! ) Does anyone have any ideas for low-calorie dressing with a little more substance? These all are great, but not very filling…any ideas on creamier substitutes, maybe with a cottage cheese variation or something along those lines??

ranch dressing is the ONLY salad dressing that i like! im trying to loose weight, so i figured salads are a good diet food, and i like them! but today as i was eating one, i happened to look on the back and saw that just 2 tbsps of ranch is 150 calories!!! ive tried south beach diet ranch dressing, and that tasted a little funny, so i just use hidden valley….

so since ranch has all those calories, if you eat it on a salad, is the salad still healthy and a good diet food?
please dont suggest i try using a different salad dressing, like i said…i ONLY like ranch. ive tried all the other dressings, but i ONLY like ranch…please just answer my question…
ok so far no one has answered my question…thanks for the suggestion, but PLEASE just answer my question!!!
Is a salad still healthy if you eat it with ranch dressing?

what do u put on salad that is NOT salad dressing and is healthy for u? i eat a ton of salad and i have stopped using dressing all together in an effort to cut unnessecary calories..i put pure lemon juice on it today and now the inside of my lip is burning any suggestions on what to put on the salad to give it some flavor but that i still good for me

p.s is light salad dressing really that bad? i dont use alot of it but she freaked out when i said i used it..i dont get it..it isnt like im going home at night and drinking a couple bottles of salad dressing!!
forgot to mention that the person who flipped about the salad dressing is my nutritionist …sorry about that
i do use light dressing but i was told to stay away..it would have been helpful if she told me what to use instead lol i never thought about salsa that sounds pretty yummy…and those spray dressings are good too..keep ‘em coming guys

whats a good salad dressing i can get at the store thats under 30 calories. what is it called and what brand. thanx

Can someone give me the name of the kind of salad dressing, that is not a creamy kind, and that is lowest in calories,fat,carbs,cholestral,etc… Thanks a bunch!

I would like to make it with less calories and fat. Does anyone have a recipe for it? Thank you if you do…

I was thinking about doing this. I can buy 6 pieces of portion size salmon for about 8 dollars in a package, and rice is really cheap. And my salads would usually just have spinach, along with very low cal/fat (Per tablespoon – 0.4g fat, 5 calories) Zesty Italian dressing. I know, this might seem to get monotonous after a while, but I wanted to try it for a whole month and see what happens. I’ll also only drink water for the whole month, and eat different breakfasts and lunches. But about the supper, is that dangerous or unhealthy? Or is it just monotonous?
