... less, including beans, juices, salsas. I'm still boycotting Goya products due to the pro TFG CEO.

Go online and find recipes for similar dressings and DYI. You have the ingredients: EVOO, a variety of vinegars, mustards (Dijon), fresh herbs, garlic, onions, buttermilk. And they taste just as good, if not better, and are more affordable.

Go on! Make that Poppyseed Dressing tonight!

And it's homemade! It will knock your socks off.

"All Recipes" is a Google search away, and it will have multiple recipes for the same item, people have tweeked, but you can read reviews to pick the right one for you.

I make most of mine now to order.

I made a sweet and sour sauce and egg rolls that were the best we've ever had. I would advise, frying that stuff outside though, it will stink up your house something awful.

It just takes a little time to learn....making even mayonnaise is soooo much better....I make mine...need an immersion blender...I also make my own tarter sauce and cocktail sauce, pesto....

I like a simple honey mustard dressing using lemon zest, lemon juice, Dijon mustard olive oil...or just simple red wine vinegar and olive oil with dried herbs...

So many easy choices..

Once you establish your go to favorite dressings ...you rarely will use store bought.

Lots of recipes online. Sometimes I add anchovies since I like the flavor and they disappear into the dressing if mashed properly.
