Robin - you appear to be a little confused about what you should be eating.
There really is no reason to use a fake dressing - use REAL oil dressings.
And butter is definitely not a big problem either, definitely better than
most oils and margarines.  You might want to re-read the guidelines in the
book you have, and get your hands on a few more books that have been
suggested.  From what you write here, it looks like you are trying to meld
the traditional weight-loss wisdom with paleo - and that is NOT the point.

Best of luck in carving out a NEW way of eating!
