Try making your own...
I find most of the non-fat dressings to be too sweet and/or too vinegary.

Pick up some non-fat sour cream and add the powdered Hidden Valley mix

Works for me anyway.

BTW, Hellman's makes a decent reduced fat mayo. Most of those are pretty
disgusting but this one is not bad at all imho.
