Oil Based Salad Dressing is Good For you?

Hi everyone,
Since starting the plant based diet life style, i have been researching reading and watching videos of many doctors etc.
I find conflicting data/ideas that both make sense , I would love to hear your opinions:
Dr Esselstyn - Advocates NO OIL.
Dr. Mcdougall - I believe same.
Dr.Michael Greger ( Like this guy) - Does not reject all oils.
What prompted me to make this post is the following: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JxxbL7QSDc#t=553
In this video Dr.Michael Greger says that Oil Based Dressing for salads is Better for you than Oil Free Dressing.
He supports his claim by providing a study that shows that when you ate a salad when you used used Oil Based dressing Then:
Your body Absorbed the nutrients from the salad in a high rate, very well.
But when you ate Oil Free Salad Dressing there were NO NUTRIENTS ABSORBED by your body AT ALL.
So why did you eat the salad at the first place?
Now one person can say I have coronary heart disease so i have to stay away from any oils, which would make sense,
people that don't have that or similar diseases can have oil in their salads for example olive oil which is healthier for you than others like cottonseed or canola etc.
What do you guys think about this?Cause like the guy said why eat all the veggies and greens in your salad and such and not even receive the nutrients?
Looking forward to hearing what you guys think.
