Recommendations Needed

So, um, I'm in search of a good fat-free, low-calorie salad dressing. 

If you've got a suggestion, please pass it on to me in the comments. I always used the light dressing from Paul Newman and Annie's Naturals. But now I'm going even further. 

And I'm getting tired of plain balsamic vinegar, lemon/lime juices... Please help me out.

Have you tried the salad spritzers? I remember liking one a while ago- I think the one I had was raspberry vinegrite (ok I can't spell that word- just tried like 10x's- sorry! )

I really like Kraft Fat Free Ceaser Italian mixed with a little balsamic vinegar for extra kick (but make sure it's the Ceaser Italian cause the plan FF Italian is no good). Also, there's a Fat Free Raspberry Viniagrette by Annie's that's good, and doesn't have too much sugar. Also, to change things up I like a mix of soy, balsamic, and dijon or brown mustard, and if you are allowed, a splash of sesame oil is the perfect finish (and a good fat). Hope that helps. Hang in there, you're kickin butt!

I love all of the Maple Grove Farms dressings. They have an awesome poppyseed and the mandarin sesame is yummy! Good luck in your quest for delicious dressings!

We use balsalmic w/ dijon mustand sometimes too. We put it on salad, we put it on chicken breasts & mushrooms.

Do you salt your salad? I hear buying fancy salts, like pink Hawiian salt, and putting it on salad is awesome.

And my captcha is chedr.

When T was dieting we discovered Consorzio, it's a product by Annie's Naturals. They make a raspberry vinagrette and a mango dressing that are delicious (except when you use it exclusively for over a year). No fat, only 10-15 calories in a serving. We bought it at Meijers. I suspect most of the Annies Natural dressings will be lower in fat than the average dressing.

they've got great ones at Trader Joe's. They have to be refrigerated though, so I can't send them to you :( But, you could put them up on your next trip if you take a cooler. The cilantro is my favorite!

they also have a Parm. Ranch that tastes kinda like veggie cream cheese. It's great for dipping baby carrots but not so great as a salad dressing.

I hate Kraft FF Italian but the Low fat Italian is really good!
