Taste Test: Super-Tasty Vinaigrettes

Kraft Light Asian Toasted Sesame Reduced Fat Dressing
This low-fat fave packs tons of flavor (from savory soy sauce, spicy ginger and nutty sesame seeds) into 50 calories per serving. "It's so rich, it can't be low-fat!" one panelist marveled. Try it in a salad with orange segments and sugar snap peas. ($2.99 for 16 oz.)


Wild Thymes Raspberry Salad Refresher
"I could drink this straight!" one taster raved. "It tastes like fresh raspberry-orange juice!" And no wonder: Raspberry puree is the first ingredient listed for this bright, tangy dressing. Drizzle over field greens topped with grilled chicken and red onion. ($6.99 for 11 oz.)

Lucini Italia Fig & Walnut Savory Balsamic Artisan Vinaigrette
This star will bowl you over with its fruity vinegar base, revved up by earthysweet figs, pungent garlic and roasted walnut oil. It has no problem standing up to strong flavors: "I'm seeing it with a steak-and-blue cheese salad," one blissed-out taster said. ($4.99 for 8.5 oz.)


Best Citrus
This full-bodied champ gets subtle zing from lemon juice and a touch of mustard, plus flecks of shallot and parsley. Honey and white balsamic vinegar pull all the flavors together. Perfect over mild salads, like bibb lettuce and crisp apple slices. ($5.99 for 16 oz.)


Newman's Own Family Recipe Italian
Distinct bits of garlic and cracked pepper, plus shreds of romano cheese, make this rustic winner taste homemade. "I'll never buy ordinary, globby yellow italian dressing again!" one panelist resolved. ($3.79 for 16 oz.)
