Low cal salad dressing you might enjoy



Recommended Posts

We use a Salad Dressing made by Bolthouse that uses yogurt instead of high fat to create a fully body and good taste. A serving is 45 calories. I like to put even less of a serving on my lunch salad that I eat with my Protein. My favorite flavor is their honey mustard, but I think they make all flavors with yogurt from 1000 island to blue cheese. Fat is also low by nature of yogurt. Enjoy and let me know what you think.

My daughter eats the yogurt ranch. I'm personally not a huge fan, but she loves it and I'm glad she doesn't know it's good for her. . . like most kids she thinks ranch dressing is a food group!!

I like Walden Farms dressings and BBQ sauces!! Fat free calorie free gluten free carb free!!! The Italian, balsamic vinegarette and raspberry vinegarette are my faves. I didn't care for the creamy ones like ranch and creamy Italian. They also have different flavored BBQ sauces. I like them all. I marinate my chicken in any of the dressings as well as use it on my salads!!

How many carbs per serving? Is a serving size a table spoon?

I mix a dry pack of hidden valley ranch mix with greek yogurt... taste great.

6 carbs for 2 tbsp @ 45 calories. I usually put on between 1/2 and 1 tbsp.

Hey F man.. I didn't see this until now. I guess we use the same dressing. I guess healthy minds think alike.

2 tbsp are 45cal, thats pretty good if the dressing is tasty. Hoping my local store has this in stock. I though I used a little amount of dressing on my salads but you have me beat. Do you even taste the dressing with 1/2 tbsp lol. I use about 2 tbsp dressing for a pretty large salad. I weight my salad to 85g which doesnt sound like a lot but its probably about 10 cups worth.

It is very tasty and thick . My salads tend to be small (1/2 cup or less) so do not need much dressing. 10 cups? Oh my.

So where does everybody buy theirs at? I get mine at HEB since Walmart and Albertson's doesn't carry it here. My mom can't find it back home so I have two bottles in the fridge to take her next weekend when I go. Both of my parents are dieting with me which is awesome. My dad has kept up with me lb for lb and I'm the one who had the surgery! lol

I also get the baby carrots from Bolthouse. Their really tiny baby carrots and come in 4, 2 oz bags. I pour a tsp of the ranch and the little bag of carrots are a perfect portion snack on a day I've rocked all my Protein :)

Yup it is a lot.. slider food for me. That\s ten loose cups of salad... gonna measure tonight but for sure its 85 grams worth every time.

The nutrition facts at the back say 1 serving size is 1.5 cups or 85g. That 1.5 cups has to be compressed salad into 1.5 cups because 85g is 8-10 loose filled cups or about 3 hand fulls out of the bag.

Umm I will have to look at that! I'm actually having salad tonight for dinner... But I put roasted chicken on top so I eat maybe 1/2 cup salad?

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
