Also, salsa makes a good dressing with the right ingredients!

Newman's Own Classic Oil & Vinegar Dressing or the Parmesan & Roasted Garlic Dressing

Op, nothing comes close to olive oil & lemon, or olive oil and balsamic vinegar and is so simple.

Here are the things that facilitated me eating more salad:

1) Annie's Goddess dressing - not the other brands.
2) Brianna's French dressing - a basic vinaigrette but great flavor. My older kid loves pasta salad and we use this to dress it.
3) The refrigerated ginger-miso dressing that is in the sushi section of Whole Foods - basically mimics a sh*tty sushi place salad dressing.

The only other thing I would strongly advise is getting a mezzaluna to chop your salads like Chopt etc. does. For me, it made it easier to eat the salads, which also felt more combined. I have this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07356JZ5M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

I love Garlic Expressions vinaigrette, available at Whole Foods.

I also make my own:

Balsamic vinegar

dijon mustard

Where can I buy this?

buy what? chick fil a avocado lime? I saw them at harris teeter and food lion. They probably have them at Giants and Safeways, too.

If you mean the one I make my own, not for sale.

Field + Farmer Lemon, Garlic, Basil dressing and marinade.

I also like the dressings from Tessamae’s, and those from Cindy’s Kitchen — especially the Greek Feta with Black Olive.

I sometimes use Whole Foods Guacamole along with a bit of mayo or vinaigrette, and sometimes use Trader Joe’s chimichurri sauce.

One of my favorite salads is butter lettuce topped with a crab cake or shrimp salad and the Lemon Garlic Basil dressing.

I don’t know how you’re assembling your salads, but you might want to try different types of lettuce and other greens, and add things that you like to your pile of greens. Shrimp, guacamole, leftover chicken… whatever turns the salad into a meal.

Same! The Bolthouse Caesar is very yogurt-y. I can accept it for dieting but I wouldn’t choose it otherwise.

That sounds awesome, not OP but going to try. The Marie’s bleu cheese is great. OP you also might try raspberry vinaigrette - a few different brands have it and it’s sweeter than other vinaigrettes.

I came here to say this. Gotham Greens in the produce section is the BEST. Whole Foods brand version is not as good.

+1 on the Gotham Greens Green Goddess

Same, definitely Annie’s. Not a huge fan if the Trader Joe’s one.
