Bernstein's Italian Dressing??
I was wondering if anyone here finds this bottled dressing to be as
good as their website says it is. I make my own salad dressings but I love to experiment and try different bottled things. How is Bernstein's Italian Dressing? I will have to order it, as it's not available here on the east coast. I emailed 'em. They're asking for $32.00 for 6 bottles shipping included. Worth it? TIA |

TIA Replying to my own post...I forgot to ask, does it contain high fructose corn syrup and/or does it taste SWEET. I don't like that "Wishbone Italian" flavor. TIA again. |

TIA It used to be a quite good bottled dressing. However, I haven't had it for years, and so many name-brand products have been Walmorphed into generic low-quality substitutes, I'd look for a recommendation from someone who's had it recently.

TIA I love it; it was always one of my favorites. Unfortunately, I can't find it here in Florida. I would OD on that stuff, I swear! It was great not only on green salads, but pasta salads, mixed veggie salads, as a marinade for chicken or pork, or drizzled on a sub sandwich. I would go through a big Costco-sized bottle within a matter of weeks. I think my favorite kind was the Restaurant Recipe Italian, although their cheese Italian was good, too. kili |

I think the Wishbone Italian is awful. Bernstein's has a lot of chunky herbs and seasonings in it and it tastes fresh. As to having HFCS in it, I can't say. It's nothing like Wishbone, though! kili |

It's 1/10 the price. It's easy. It's fast. This always amazes me. Kent |

TIA Even it were the best bottled Italian dressing, why would you not only pay a premium price but also commit to using six bottles of the stuff? You already make your own and experiment around, so you know how different dressings can be, and how interesting it is to try to match the dressing with the particular salad. Six bottles of one particular kind will bore you out of your skull long before it's used up, no matter how good it is. -aem |

There is an impression (mistaken, IMHO) that corn syrup can substitute for oil. I don't like most store-bought non-fat dressings because of this. Kraft Catalina is just possibly an exception for occasional use. James Silverton Potomac, Maryland E-mail, with obvious alterations: not.jim.silverton.at.verizon.not |

Just FYI, I have three bottles of the six already commited to other people I know. If I dislike the dressing, I can use it a marinade. If for some reason it's especially VILE which I know it will not be, I will contact the manufacturer and get my money back. It's touching so many people are so deeply concerned about my ordering some dang salad dressing on the internet. LOL!! |
