All the seasoned rice vinegar at our big box market has HFCS in it :( Our natural food store does not sell seasoned varieties.

One of my favorites is olive oil, dijon mustard and lemon juice.  Add some salt and pepper too.  It's amazing on avocados.

I recently bought a bottle of mirin and was horrified to find corn syrup as its first ingredient.  I currently do not have seasoned RV in the house: can't check if it's the case.

This is my favorite dressing:

1 small shallot, minced
2.5 Tablespoons of champagne vinegar
1 Tablespoon of Dijon mustard
1/4-1/2 teaspoon of honey
1/4 teaspoon of salt
fresh ground pepper
1/2 cup of olive oil

We have a store called Fairway (it's a metro NY/NJ chain) that has their own balsamic. And they have it and a bunch of olive oils from different places out to taste with little chunks of bread. I tried the balsamic I usually buy then tried the one next to it which blew that one out of the water. It was $12.99 but heck, well worth it and less then a bottle of wine, going to last a lot longer too. With a drizzle of good Olive Oil and fresh pepper, yum.
Trader Joe's if you have them has among the pear vinaigrette mentioned, a raspeberry walnut and a champagne vinaigrette that are one point each for WW and good.
Also Bolton farms makes yogurt dressings and a blue cheese vinaigrette that are low and good too.

I don't like using a ton of ingredients in salad dressing. I use one fat and one acid plus maybe one more ingredient.

The key is whiskey really well.

So... I might use olive oil (fat) and fresh lemon juice (acid).

Olive oil (fat) and balsamic (acid) with a dollop of grainy brown mustard.

Olive oil (fat) and white balsamic (acid) with a splace of fresh lemon juice (acid).

I usually keep it simple!
