Here is a quote from Kimboroni's FAQ about salad dressings: Quote: Here is some information on salad dressings (2 Tbsp in all cases) from the new Guide, which applies to all phases:
Good (can use regularly, w/ "South Beach Diet common sense")
regular Caesar
regular Italian
regular Ranch
regular Russian
regular Thousand Island
regular Balsamic Vinaigrette
The above Good dressings range from 10-16 g of total fat, with no more than 2½ g of saturated fat and an emphasis on good fats.
Limited (no more than once a week)
regular French
regular Blue Cheese
reduced-fat Blue Cheese
reduced-fat Caesar
reduced-fat Italian
reduced-fat Ranch
reduced-fat Russian
reduced-fat Thousand Island
Limited dressings tend to be too sugary (4+ g), too cheesy or creamy, and/or too low in good fats (only 2-9 g of total fat).
Very Limited (once every 2 or 3 months)
reduced-fat French
Avoid
all fat-free dressings

From the South Beach Daily Dish:
Dress It Up
This Daily Dish is part of a series on how to read nutrition labels
Knowing how to read a nutrition label can be extremely helpful when choosing a store-bought salad dressing. What's the key to finding a South Beach Diet™-friendly dressing? Again, it's all about the type of fat and amount of added sugar.
Dressings with less than 3 grams of sugar per serving are permitted on The South Beach Diet™.
As for fat content, look for commercial dressings made with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats like olive oil and canola oil. Other vegetable oils are okay, but they don't carry the same health benefits. Be careful of dressings touted as "low-fat" or "nonfat," since manufacturers often add extra sugar to improve the flavor. And always avoid dressings made with hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils.
Olive oil and vinegar make a great salad dressing—the acid in the vinegar helps lower the glycemic load of the meal.
