Which brand of Salad dressing is best for Type 2 to buy in the stores
 
My salads are walnuts coleslaw, bag of ready done salad, a tomato, some cucumber, radishes, beetroot (fresh not pickled) celery, sweet red or yellow pepper, some finely chopped onion,black pepper (freshly ground) some really good olive oil and red wine vinegar with a sprinkle or squeeze of lemon or lime juice. If from a real lemon/lime I usually cut some very thin slivers and chop them to tiny bits before throwing them on top.
I do have a zester somewhere - I must look it out so I can add in more lemony goodness.

I'm not sure what a zester is, but the finer grate on one of those works just fine. It's one of my most used kitchen implements, I use it for cheese, cauliflower, celeriac, lemon peel, ginger, turmeric, carrots, cucumber, and probably a couple of other things.

Equal volumes of Balsamic vinegar, virgin olive oil with Dijon mustard and crushed garlic to taste. Put in a bottle and shake to emulsify. If you don't use too much you can add a teaspoon of honey.

Not sure I would add honey....
 
If you are looking for store-bought dressings -- Caesar's dressing is usually fine. About 2g of carbs per 100g. Ranch dressing is slightly carbier, but generally okay too.

This week I made Caesar's dressing at home. Not too difficult and I have more control over the type of oil used.

Mine looks like this - small and neat and you hold the citrus fruit and scrape the skin off in tiny strips with it as opposed to rubbing it against a standard grater and getting little bits:
