Kraft Refrigerated Dressings

Photobucket

Strategic Objectives was kind enough to send me some coupons for the Kraft Refrigerated Dressings.

There are six different varieties that you can choose from.  Asiago Caesar, Calorie-wise Asiago Caesar, Raspberry Poppyseed, Barbecue Ranch, Creamy Balsamic, and Greek Feta.

The first one I wanted to try was the Raspberry Poppyseed and my son wanted to try the Greek Feta.  I immediately checked out the Kraft website and found a recipe page that has recipes using these dressings.

We decided the Greek Feta it would be.

What You Need

Note
For a more traditional Greek salad, omit the lettuce.

I served this with chicken souvlaki with tzatziki sauce on the side.  It was a fantastic meal.

The week after I decided to try the Raspberry Poppyseed salad.

Variation
For a summer berry salad, prepare using a mix of fresh berries, such as strawberries, blueberries and raspberries
I also added the tiny baby tomatoes to this salad.  And on another occasion I used strawberries instead of raspberries.  



I love them both, but my fave is the Raspberry Poppyseed, where as my son absolutely loves the Greek Feta.

I will also be trying out the other refrigerated dressing that Kraft makes. I am looking forward to trying the Calorie-reduced Asiago Caesar dressing. In the past I have found that a lot of calorie-reduced dressings just don't have the flavour of the regular dressings. Hoping that is not the case here. I will let you know.

In conclusion, a thumbs up to these dressings. I like them much more than the shelf dressings.

I received coupons  which I used to help me review this product. All views and opinions with regard to the products or company itself are my own and were not influenced, nor reviewed, by the company prior to posting.
