I love the Balsamic Dressing but am very tired of it. I'm not a Ranch or creamy dressing fan but would love another option. I've heard they used to have a Caesar or Asian recipe. These are very convenient to keep in my handbag and use when eating out or take to work with lunch. Does anyone else feel like they could use another salad dressing option?

For a little variety I keep grocery-bought dressings in the fridge at home. There are lots and lots of "light" dressings out there. My JCC recommended to keep it between 50-100 calories per serving. I like Kraft Light Zesty Italian for only 25 cal. per serving!

I know Walden Farms sells various dressings in individual packets, but I'm not sure how easy they are to find in stores.

I'm also a Salad Spritzer fan. Each squirt (more like a tasty mist) is 2 calories.

It might not be as convenient as the packets but it's terrific and there are several varieties.

And don't forget your can experiment and make your own by combining different herbs, seasonings and spices into a variety of different vinegar flavors to create an assortment of different option. All tasty and all slightly different. Balsamic, red wine, white wine, apple cider vinegar - mixed with a variety of favorite flavors will each taste different enough to give you the variety you crave :)

My absolute fav is the Kraft Lite Honey Mustard dressing. And my grocery store often has BOGO sales for this product so I stock up.

Hi,

I stopped getting JC dressings. I have some leftover to take when traveling but I use Newman's Own Lite dressing for some of my salads. I am looking over others that are 50 or less but I also use a vinegar and oil dressing at home with added spices. I can control the oil and make sure it is all olive oil (and not soybean oil which is a genetically modified product).
