Marzetti Simpy Dressed Salad Dressing #CleverSalads #CleverMarzetti

I was chosen to try the new Marzetti’s Simply Dressed salad dressings.  I’ve heard of Marzetti’s before, but I’d never heard of Simply Dressed.

Our Simply Dressed® salad dressings are all natural, made with extra virgin olive oil, sea salt and canola oil, which provides omega-3. And since they’re all natural salad dressings, they don’t contain preservatives, trans fat, high fructose corn syrup, MSG and artificial flavors.

Looking at the website, I can’t believe how many flavors there are! I wish they had that many at my store. I couldn’t even find Simply Dressed at Walmart. I had to go to Jewel, which I don’t go to as often as I used to. Jewel only had a few to choose from. There are so many flavors I’d love to try! I ended up getting the Strawberry Poppyseed. I’ve just started venturing into fruit dressings and I’m in love! I would have also liked to try the Balsamic, but they didn’t have any at Jewel. The calories on the Balsamic fit more in line with my weight loss attempts at 90 calories per serving.

The Strawberry Poppyseed is 140 calories for two tablespoons. It was definitely worth it to have for a treat every once in a while on my salad. I loved the smell of it when I opened the jar. I ended up using romaine lettuce, cherry flavored cranberries and honey toasted pecans in my salad along with the dressing. I really wanted to throw a grilled chicken breast on the salad, but the two I had in my fridge were past their expiration and I was in a rush so I couldn’t grill up some more. I think the Strawberry Poppyseed dressing would be an interesting flavor as a marinade on chicken. In fact, I think I’m going to give it a try for tonight.

I was just browsing the Marzetti recipes and found this one to look pretty yummy:
