Depends on oil: Salad dressings that contain healthy monounsaturated oils like olive oil and non-hydrogented coconut oils are healthier than salad dressings containing added sugar. Calories are secondary to how the body processes the food and the affect that the food has on the release of insulin. Sugar is essentially very unhealthy even in small quantities.
