I'm going to assume that this is a real question and your not just being weird!. I don't understand about the dressing thing - if that is a limitation you are putting on yourself it is a bad one!. It's had to make a good salad without ANY dressing, you may be setting yourself up for failure - that said one of my favorite ways to do a healthy salad is to start with spring mix in a giant bowl (use a huge mixing bowl so that you can toss it properly) then I add my veggies (tomato, cucumber, radish, green onion, broccoli etc), a cheese (if you want low cal try using low fat cottage cheese - it works great in tossed salad - makes you feel like you are eating something with a lot more to it) a few toasted nuts, dried cranberries and a couple croutons - add some fresh ground pepper and a dash of salt and toss with dressing or a little red wine vinegar and olive oil!. The key is not using to much of the things that go in after the veggies - that is how you are going to keep it low calorie!.
As far as coleslaw - I'm sorry babe, but you are going to need dressing!. What I do (and I use this for salads too) is take some low fat cottage cheese and puree the ever loving hell out of it, add a bit of plain non fat yogurt for flavor and consistency!. This is a great base for anything creamy - I add blue cheese and continue to puree for a great salad dressing and to make my blue coleslaw, but you could add a bit of splenda and vinegar for a low cal version of a traditional coleslaw!.
Good luck!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
