Lately I've been making my own dressings, it cuts out all the garbage such as preservatives, sodium and other harmful chemicals.
I use EVOO as a base for them all. Dijon mustard is also a good ingredient for salads.

Or just lemon squeezed on greens is a very light and tasty way to dress salads.

If trying to loose weight the dressing is where most of the calories and fat come from, so keep the dairy products to low fat whenever possible. I don't use salt on salads, but lots of fresh ground pepper is good.

I was looking at low fat dressings and what they substituted for the fat, they over did it in sodium, so be extra careful there.
