I need a new bottle to leave at work. Homemade won't work because of the shelf life.
What are your faves? I am tired of Italian and ranch. I like Asian things, but not a necessity.

I love the Bolthouse Farms yogurt-based dressings. In my store, they're sold in the produce section. Current favorite is the Mango Chipotle.

I make a fiesta dressing. 50% light ranch as a base, with 50% salsa, then I add some fresh lime juice. I know Hidden Valley has a similar dressing. Caesar-I buy one at Wegmans in the produce section that made with yogurt Paul Neuman light honey mustard

I know our store has the Bolthouse. I have seen them before. I will take a look at the selection.
Love the idea of mixing ranch and salsa for my taco salads.

I can't help you with a favorite brand of dressing, but on the healthy end of things: one thing I've found that's helping me decrease my salad dressing consumption is to put my lettuce and stuff in tupperware, then add a tablespoon of dressing (measured or weighed) and then I put the lid on and shake it up really good and dump it on my plate. More dressing in more places and I use less of it. Although this might only work because I am having the salad as part of my meal, so it's smaller than a meal sized salad. Also, something I've been really enjoying from the store is the various chopped salad mixes. (Please no lectures on the evils of premade salads.) Anyhow, my sister recommended the sunflower crunch, which reminds her of the asian chicken salad from Applebee's. (I don't think it tastes like that but it tastes familiar and is very good.) I also like the chopped kits from fresh express. I've had the asian, sweet kale, and bacon blue. Did not like the dressing in the bacon blue so much, but I love the sweet kale mix. What I like is that they have different greens, like cabbage and kale, that have way more nutritional value than the iceberg lettuce salads I usually buy under the guise of "at least it's a vegetable."

Another vote for Bolthouse. We love the avocado cilantro one, it reminds me of the Caesar dressing they used at El Torito.

I love, love, love the Taylor Farms Asian Salad (yes, I know, premixed salad) in part because I like the it in general, but the dressing makes it beyond the beyond delicious. I think it is some kind of sweet ginger dressing and if I could buy it by itself I would eat it like soup. I am pretty sure that it is the only dressing I would recommend right now, but as far as I can tell, Mr. Google refuses to tell me if it has a name/brand that it can be bought under.

I like French and Catalina dressing. For taco salad, I mix equal parts salsa and light sour cream.
