Cooking Low fat salad dressings?

[ChisJo]

Anyone have any good low fat salad dressings that they can pass on? I have one and it's to die for, but it can get tiring after awhile....

Spinach/Pomegranate Salad

Spinach (or any greenery)
Seeds from pomegranate (blackberries work too)
1 tbsp toasted pine nuts (toasted almonds work great too)

Dressing:
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp maple syrup
½ tsp Dijon mustard
½ tsp oregano
salt and pepper

Mix dressing together and pour over salad


Thanks in advance!

Its not incredibly low fat, but better than some....

Mix equal parts of cranberry sauce (jelly-type stuff), lemon juice and olive oil (if you use a very good Virgin oil you can halve the amount ) and whisk together - very good on salads containing peppery/bitter leaves (like rocket and raddaccio). Sprinkle on a few toasted walnuts for extra yumminess

Its also lovely on a goats cheese and pear salad, but that undoes some of the low fatness

When I make salads that include the dressing in the recipe, I just cut the oil by at least half. Fortunately, we all like the acidic taste more than the oil.

Most often, though, I just open a bottle of Newman's Own & pour off most of the oil. DH always wants to buy the Light versions, but they all seem to contain more sugar/carbs - I guess they have to use something to thicken it. LOL
