GIVE AWAY - Girard's Salad Dressings (and review)

A while back, I was contacted to see if I'd like to receive some Girard's Salad Dressings to try, as they had 3 new flavors - Apple Poppyseed, Creamy Balsamic, and Peach Mimosa. They were also going to send their signature flavor, Champagne.



















Now, I have to admit, I am not a big salad person. I like having my vegetables cooked. But I'd like to try liking salad more (usually I like salad when it's with ranch which is not the most healthy dressing, or something sweet like strawberry vinaigrette). So I thought, what a great opportunity to try something different - the Peach Mimosa really intrigued me!

Even though a review of the product was not required, I thought I would anyway because I want to share :)

My favorite, which is not surprising, is definitely the Peach Mimosa. Bear in mind that I have a sweet tooth, and this dressing is more on the sweet side than on the vinegary side (I don't like thing too sour - a combination of sweet and sour is good, but not just sour). My husband, who prefers vinegary dressing, thinks it's not bad. It's a prefect summer dressing I think, especially if you can add some fruits like strawberries or blueberries in the salad! I would definitely buy this again.

My second favorite is the Apple Poppyseed. I think it has an interesting combination of favor. I wasn't too sure of it at first, and it is a bit difficult to describe how it actually taste, but I like that it's a bit sweet and a bit savory. Husband also likes it okay, but thought he has had something similar before.

Husband definitely prefers the Creamy Balsamic and Champagne. I don't hate them, and would use them in my salad, they just wouldn't be my first choice. But I still like them better than some other dressings.

So overall, it was a fun trial, and I am very glad to have some more options than just ranch!

Now, YOU have a chance to try them too (if you live in the US that is!) The Give Away includes ALL FOUR FLAVORS - of FULL SIZE Bottles! With the holidays coming up, wouldn't it be great to have all these different flavors for your guests to choose from?

  1. I'd like to try Champagne because it's their signature flavor and I can't even imagine what it would taste like!

  2. What a great giveaway! I totally want to try them all. The peach mimosa sounds heavenly. I love peaches any way you make them. Sliced, in a cobbler, on my cereal. Now I just made myself hungry. Hope I win. Yum!

    My email is Dana19018@gmail.com just in case.

    Best,
