I'd try a low fat version of the Ranch dressing if you are looking for a healthy salad. Report Abuse

That's practically an oxymoron, but here is my recipe.


I use veggie pasta spirals, fat free good season's italian dressing, diced up bell peppers, cucumbers and onions...and for a little added fat, cubed up cheez...
