Veggie Wednesday: Product Review and Giveaway!

Wish-Bone has a brand new set of salad dressing unlike any I've ever had. They're not your usual soupy dressing, they're full of chunks of vegetables and fruits and absolutely delicious.



The idea is, instead of adding dressing to your salad, these are full enough to build your salad around. The first thing I did with mine was to make black bean salsa. Usually that means several bottles and cans, but this time I added one full bottle of Wish-Bone® Bountifuls™ Simply Santa Fe Dressing to two cans of black beans and that was it. I served it up at lunch to my mother-in-law (isn't that the truest taste-test there is?) and she loved it so much that she asked specifically which dressing I used. When I gave her the recipe she was unconvinced that it was only two ingredients!


It does look good, doesn't it?


The rest went into plain ol' salads, except that they weren't plain ol' anymore! I can see the Berry Delight going very well with a salad of spring greens and flank steak (shhh - I know it's Veggie Wednesday) or the Tuscan Romano Basil shoring up a great Greek salad filled with feta cheese and kalamatas. Mmmm.

The website has flavor-specific recipes that you don't want to miss, so make sure to check them out.

All of these dressings are so delicious that I can't begin to tell you which to choose first, and FIVE of my lucky readers won't have to make that choice at all - I have 5 sets of all four flavors to give away, and all you need to do is to leave a comment before Tuesday, April 29 at 10 p.m. EST! I'll run the numbers through the ever nifty Random.org and post the winners on Wednesday, April 30th.

Now, GO and leave me a comment!

  4. As Rachel Ray says YUM-O! I'm headed to the grocery after I mow down by the lake and will look for them. Sounds like a perfect dish to serve folks this week-end while we are watching the race :)

  6. Those look very interesting. I have to admit that I've been very into bottled salad dressing lately. Making my own is simple but opening a bottle is even simpler.
