They Say: "Whole Garlic Cloves, Cider Vinegar & Special Spices"
I found this "store brand" dressing on a recent trip to my neighborhood Aldi. With a price of $1.69, I thought it would be worth trying. I snatched up a bag of tossed salad (also the Aldi store brand) and headed home.
I'm not a fan of garlic in most cases, the big exception being an incredible cheese and garlic dip made by a local pizza shop for their breadsticks. After a good shaking, I popped the lid. Garlic was definitely the first smell to come out and meet me. After adding a decent soak to my bargain toss, I grabbed a fork to dig in. The strong smell of the dressing is tempered in overall flavor by the very tart and tangy vinaigrette! Each bite was perfectly even in taste, and I quickly found my way to the bottom of the bowl.
Two days and three salads later, the bottle is already half empty!
The Grandessa Signature homepage for this dressing suggests I "Splash it over a crisp summer salad, marinate grilling meats to perfection, and take my garden fresh veggies for a refreshing dip!" I don't know if my veggies are ready for all that attention, but the marinade sounds like a great idea.
I give the Grandessa Signature House Vinaigrette Dressing four stars for a great price and surprisingly bold taste.
