Whatever it is, do it so it fits into your diet -- If you can use the extra fat, get whatever you want (as long as it's in the right amount) -- if not, some basamic vinegar may be the way to go.

Some great tips on ordering salads at restaurants:

1. NEVER EVER EVER let restaurants put it on for you. They heap it on to make it tasty, but they put about 1/4 cup on there. No way you need that much. Get it on the side.

2. Don't pour it on. Instead, dip your fork in a bit for each bite of salad. (Don't dip your SALAD -- dip your FORK) I usually only eat about a teaspoon of dressing each time I go out -- that way I can get the flavor I want -- mmmm... Blue Cheese....
