I think it just depends on what your goals are. My hubs is an ox, so it's not like he really needs to worry about it. If you like it, and aren't eating a ton of it, I think it would be fine.

This usually results in a lower over-all calorie content, so it may suit your purposes. Some dressings, like fat-free italian, typically have hardly any carbs or calories per serving. Kraft makes one called Sun-dried tomatoe parmesan. Only like 2gfat/4gcarbs per serving, and it's pretty damn tasty. Just keep in mind one serving is 2tablespoons - it's easy to really go overboard with dressing.
