WALDEN FARMS CAESAR DRESSING

This is another offering by Walden Farms in their line-up of zero calories, zero sugar, and zero fat dressings. It has the distinctive smell that we automatically associate with Caesar dressings. This dressing is in the same line as the previous ones from Walden Farms that I have reviewed and but fairs a little better in the taste category than the others. It is hard to explain but the taste seems to hit farther back on the tongue rather than in the front. It is almost like an after-taste that you taste while eating. It is similar to the taste of some kind of hot spice that they just give you a hint of without actually giving it to you.

The ingredients are mostly the same as their other products and contain “Purified Triple Filtered Water”, white vinegar, cellulose gel, salt, buttermilk powder, anchovies, cheese flavor, lactic acid, onion, natural flavors, natural spices, xanthan gum, propylene glycol alginate, sodium benzoate, food color and sucralose. The only surprises here are the buttermilk power, anchovies and cheese flavor. It may be the anchovies that give Caesar dressings their distinctive smell.

Just like the other Walden Farms dressings, this has zero of everything including fat, calories, sugars, carbs and also nutritional values. The sodium content of this is medium and not unexpected. When you are finished eating this dressing your lips still have a tingle in them caused by the small amount of heat supplied in this dressing. This is not unpleasant and helps to remind you that you have eaten something. This sets it apart from the other Walden Farms dressings I have tried. This is a better product and has enough taste to make it worth your while trying.
