I love this dressing; simple and very delicious! It was discontinued at my neighborhood store, so I am glad you left the recipe. It is one of those dressings that makes me want to do nothing but eat salad. No more battles to get myself to eat healthy!
Sami
I love this dressing, and all of my local stores are no longer stocking your dressings. Can you tell me why? I really appreciate the recipe, but I cannot use three cups in two weeks. Help.

hi Sami!
thanks for inquiring about our fresh dressings. we are no longer making our fresh bottled dressings, but that’s why we are sharing our secret recipes so you can make them at home! our consumers have spoken about their preference for homemade & simple salad dressings and we listened. we know you love our organic, fresh dressings as much as we do. try halving this recipe if it seems too large!
KF
I have gone to all of my neighborhood grocery stores looking for my replenishment! Why did you stop producing these dressings?? So bummed.

Don’t waste your time or money. It is tart and not the same as the original.
organicgirl

Thank you for posting this! My grocery store stopped carrying it and I’ve been looking everywhere for it. I’m making some this weekend!!!

I loved this dressing! Please bring it back. I would buy it by the case.
No desire to make it… just want to buy it and eat!
Diana
Same here! Please bring it back!
Jennifer
Bless you for this. I go every week to the only store in a 8 miles radius asking for this dressing. I am always told “we have been ordering but they don’t send it”. This dressing makes me want salad – I don’t usually want salad. My taste buds and health thank you!!! Best dressing EVER!
Muffie
I am so relieved that you shared the recipe after you discontinued the product. And I echo the comment above: this dressing makes me want to eat salad too! Thank you!
