| Conclusion | This delicious dressing had an excellent taste which complimented the salad perfectly. The garlic flavour enhanced the ingredients whilst not overpowering them. A perfect substitute for high calorie mayonnaise. It also makes a great dip! | Appearance could be off putting - lots of herbs in what looks a bit like clear jelly. However, when tasted fears subsided. A lovely light taste which brought out the flavours in sweetcorn, carrot, asparagus alike! | Looked attractive and enhanced the appearance of the salad. A good tangy, herby taste. A worthwhile purchase. |

| Conclusion | This was deemed by all a "poor man's salad cream". Heavy and extremely thick it lacked texture and flavour. | A "suspect" colour did not tempt us. A very non descriptive, almost watered down vinegar taste. Did nothing for the salad.. | Suggested as a dressing for salads or a sauce for pasta this was deemed by 100% not suitable as a dressing for salads. One of our panel even suggested it tasted like something the dentist would give you to rinse your mouth! Very strong tomato / vinegar taste – very overpowering! |
†Retailer's Recommended Portion Size
We always warn that sauces and dressings heaped over salads and vegetables can unwittingly load on the calories. A careful look around the supermarket can lead to some wise choices. Our low calorie dressings (both creamy and vinaigrettes) are better choices than thick mayonnaise or salad creams. Hellmann's Light and Morrisons led the way to encourage a tasty salad meal. Give them a try!
