Most of my life my dressing of choice has been Thousand Island dressing. That was until I started trying to lose weight and could not find any good low-calorie dressings. Needless to say I couldn’t wait to try the Calorie Free/Fat Free/Sugar Free offering from Walden Farms and once again I was disappointed by this one. The smell of it hinted of tomatoes but not really in a pleasant way because it also smelled of vinegar. Just like the Honey Dijon Vinaigrette the taste was very weak but the flavor of this one was not really good either. When I finished with my salad each day I found I had not enjoyed my salad at all. Even though the flavor was weak I didn’t really like it either. After eating it I felt that I had wasted a good salad by using this dressing on it.
The main ingredient of this dressing, like the Honey Vinaigrette dressing I tried previously was water. Once again it is listed as “Purified Triple Filtered Water” (as if this makes a difference!). Next in the list is white vinegar, tomato paste, cellulose gel, natural flavor, natural spices, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, pickle relish, lemon juice, xanthan gum, propylene glycol, alginate, sodium benzoate, food color, sucralose. This is very similar to the Honey Vinaigrette except for the tomato paste and pickle relish (probably not too surprising).
This is another dressing that I won’t be in any hurry to use again because of the vinegary taste of this offering. I guess I have to keep trying to find a good low-calorie Thousand Island dressing.
