What fat free and low fat salad dressings do you like? I usually do Ken's light northern Italian, but I am thinking of trying a fat free kind. I just haven't found one that tastes good. sharla

Hidden Valley Ranch makes a Fat Free one in a packet, you just mix it with FF sour cream. Tastes even better than ready-made bottled stuff and darn near exactly like the 'real' version. Also, here's a very low (if any) fat homemade dressing my SIL sent to me. It went along with a pear and gorgonzola salad, but it's yummy and would no doubt taste great on just about any salad. It's very creamy (tastes almost "sinful", like you're eating something bad) and a bit tangy and a bit sweet.

Whisk together--
1/3 c Fat Free Mayo
3 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1 Tbsp Skim Milk (we don't drink skim, so I end up using 2%)
1 Tbsp Honey (we like it a bit sweeter, so end up adding a tad more)
I can't recall if it's actually IN the recipe, but I usually add a bit of fresh ground black pepper.

I love blue cheese dressing,and I found(believe it was Kraft)one called"Light done Right,Roka blue cheese",less calories and carbs then regular.They still have some others in the "light done right",but haven't seen the blue cheese lately.

Thanks for this helpful question as I love salad dressings! For a fat free dressing I like S&W Raspberry Vinegarette on mixed greens with chopped apple and walnuts or pear and pine nuts. Newman's Lite Creamy Ceasar is really good on romaine lettuce, chopped egg, and tomatoes; add lots of fresh ground black pepper. My favorite tossed/chef salad dressing is Blue Cheese and I found that I am only satified with full fat (Marie's is the best). I just don't have it often and measure carefully. I look forward to trying out some of the ones suggested here. Yum! LK

The light Hidden Valley Ranch is much better than the ff...I agree with cl-relydia it is disgusting.
