Is a salad still healthy if you eat it with ranch dressing?

Trenisha · Oct 28, 2008

ranch dressing is the ONLY salad dressing that i like! im trying to loose weight, so i figured salads are a good diet food, and i like them! but today as i was eating one, i happened to look on the back and saw that just 2 tbsps of ranch is 150 calories!!! ive tried south beach diet ranch dressing, and that tasted a little funny, so i just use hidden valley....

so since ranch has all those calories, if you eat it on a salad, is the salad still healthy and a good diet food?
please dont suggest i try using a different salad dressing, like i said...i ONLY like ranch. ive tried all the other dressings, but i ONLY like ranch...please just answer my question...
ok so far no one has answered my question...thanks for the suggestion, but PLEASE just answer my question!!!

what i do with salad for dressing is i put fruit in my salad such as apples and oranges and obviously the ussual stuff like cucumbers and carrots and that stuff but apples and oranges give a nice sweet and refreshing taste try it its nice

1] start off with one to one and a half tablespoon servings, and cut it down as you go along.
2] a litle salt, some olives, a bit of jalpenos all make salad tastier.
Stay away from croutons - they are loaded with fat.
3] if you only eat 100 calories of fat a day, that is good. Cut down on other fats [ butter/margarine, gravy, sauces ] in meals.

And its like no calore for it. Cuz all it is is, that stuff, lemon, water, and seasoning! try it its yummy!! or you could try to eat it plain..
Buttt to answer your question, I guess the salad isnt UNhealthy if you add ranch but it makes salad ALOT worse then it can be, cuz salad can be VERYY helpful but then the dressing kind aruins i..
so try only using like 1 tbs ^_^
I hope i helped!!! ?

Instead of ranch dressing, you may want to try lemon juice, or salsa, or just little drops of fat-free sour cream!
