I just read the latest study on salad dressings and again, they attack anything with fat, even though the article does mention low fat dressings can be bad for you, because of the high sugar and sodium levels. They listed the worst dressing and healthy alternatives.
One they suggested was a low fat blue cheese dressing. You can take a lot away from me, but don't touch my blue cheese dressing. I only have it about once a week but when I want it, I want it and I want to enjoy all the fat and calories.
We do use just lemon juice with a little oil to help it adhere to the greens better. That is hubby's favorite and certainly healthy. I also make a mustard dressing that has lemon juice and very little oil. We also go light on our dressing, so I guess I can continue my blue cheese.
I won't buy store bought but I make dressing all the time. I make a buttermilk blue cheese dressing and Caesars dressing. It's flavorful so a little goes a long way and there's no sugar to worry about. There is sodium naturally but I'm not spurious about it. If I had to get store bought them I can see why Americans worry.

How about it? I looked at the label of my favorite catalina style dressing, and the very first ingredient was sugar. That actually made me sad!
I usually make my own with balsamic vinegar, olive or canola oil, honey, and good brown mustard.

How about what? (Confused)I don't add sugar to my dressings. I'm very big on cutting back on what I call empty calories which is why I make my own items.
Bottled salad dressing is terrible for you. It’s crammed with all sorts of preservatives and other junk. I always make my own. There are endless variations and it’s fun to experiment. I never use sugar and just a pinch of salt. It’s all about combining an oil, an acid (sometimes an emulsifier) and flavorings.
If I use cheese, I get a high quality, very strong cheese and sprinkle a little on top of the salad. If I need a little sweetness I add a bit of something that is naturally sweet, like a tablespoon of fresh orange juice.

I do buy Caesar dressing but I always make my blue chees, yes with buttermilk and a lot of really fatting things like sour cream in it as well. I do buy a few bottles of dressing from time to time to keep for guests that don't like whatever I have made but it is rare and yes, a little dressing goes a long way.
I eat regular higher fat dressings that taste good, but I try to go lightly on them. I hate the taste of fat free ranch.
The only fat free or low fat dressing I will buy and eat is: Thousand Island. It is really pretty good, but I don't have it more than maybe twice a year...
