Z Is for Zesty Italian

Zesty_italianThis salad dressing has been a staple in my house for as long as I can remember. We even had it when I was a kid--except then, it was just called Kraft Italian.

It's the reason my kids ate salads. In fact, Kraft Italian is the only kind of salad dressing they would even consider.

I remember once buying some other kind--maybe Oil and Vinegar. My daughter was a teenager then.  Well, I got in big trouble over that. She informed me that I knew what kind of salad dressing she liked. "I've been eating it all my life," she said. And she still does.

FYI, Zesty Italian has a lot of others uses besides just dressing salads. I like to marinate chicken breast in it before baking or grilling them. And it's a great dressing for pasta salad. I even use it to flavor gazpacho.

What's your favorite salad dressing?

Congratulations on making it to Z! My favorite dressing: Ken's Honey Mustard or Ken's Sweet Vidalia Onion.

For commercial stuff, I like Ken's Steakhouse Italian and Hidden Valley Ranch (the kind you mix yourself.) I also like home made dressing of almost any kind.

Neuman's Own Light Honey Mustard. Low fat, low sugar, high in tasty.
Loved all your alphabet posts. I might do that ... sometime.

I usually make my own vinaigrette, but when I reach for the bottle I like Bernsteins Italian. I too use it to marinate chicken--delicious. And I recently discovered Marzetti's, who makes a great slaw dressing, has come out with a line of salad dressings. We tried the Ultimate Blue Cheese and it was fantastic. Beyond belief.

PS I have tried the Zesty Italian and did not care for it at all--too zesty. But Kraft makes a nice Caesar.
