passata (sieved tomatos) are about 25 kcal/100g.

very low fat yogurt can be as little as 42 kcal/100g.

you can use some mustard - pick a spicy one and then you'll only need to use a little. same rationale can go for chilli sauce (and some brands are just 10 kcal/100ml).

I like hamburger relish - I found one that's 50 kcal/100g. Or you can mix low-calorie salsa which might be around 30 kcal/100g.

lemon juice is 18 kcal/100g.

or you can use spices instead.

sometimes I sweeten my vegetables with artificial sweetner (and sometimes I add cocoa powder too - make them chocolate flavour)

One of my favorites is Newman's Own Low Fat Sesame Ginger dressing.  :yum: I use it on cole slaw mix all the time-sometimes mix in broccoli slaw, pineapple, golden raisins and raw sunflower seeds.........depends on how many calories I have left for the day.

Oooooooh!    That is so yummy:yum:    It is my staple for my lunch veggie/black bean salad.   When my bottle gets below 1/4, I take off to the grocery store for more....I can't let myself run out!

salsa...it tastes amazingly good on any type of salad. plus, it has fewer calories than any type of dressing.

I use olive oil and lemon (lemon juice from a real lemon). In Sicily, they put this on salads and vegetables (and you know how healthy people are in the Mediterranean). I put this on all my vegetables. Its great on spinach, kale, asparagus, broccoli, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, and stringbeans. Lemons also give you that extra vitamin C.
