While I was pregnant with my little princess, I developed gestational diabetics. To control blood sugar I used to take salad in between my lunch and dinner. I don’t know if my little princess loves to eat salads due to my habit. She and her dad likes to eat salad before dinner, she add some store bought dressing to the salad especially Italian, raspberry vinaigrette. So I keep some in my pantry or fridge.
As part of foodbuzz taste maker program, when I got a chance to try Marzetti Simply Dressed Salad Dressings I opted in. I know if the salad dressing is good, my little one will like it. They send me a free coupon to buy the product from the store. I decide to get ranch dressing as my hubby told me, ranch we know the taste, there is no way it would taste bad. To be on the safer side we can try ranch dressing, further it has been long time since we had tried ranch dressing. We tried it; my little one was very impressed and approved the dressing. As she is budding taste tester, in our home everything needs to get her approval.
I was pleased to found that Marzetti Simply Dressed Salad Dressing is made with a number of all-natural ingredients, such as extra virgin olive oil, canola oil and sea salt, which complement any salad or meal. Plus, the fresh-tasting line of salad dressings does not contain any preservatives, trans fats, high fructose corn syrup, MSG or artificial flavors or colors. It is available in the Kroger store’s refrigerated section.
I used lettuce, green, red, yellow bell pepper, carrot, pear, grapes and strawberries in the salad.

Hello Swathi:
I stop by to thank you for sharing your eggplant recipe yesterday. I was absolutely delicious. Since I wanted to add cubed cooked potatoes the eggplant was added also cubed. It always surprises me how cooks in India came up with all these wonderful combinations of spices. Is there some background about it?
The Salad looks so colorful. And even thought I do not used store bought dressings I am glad to know this brand uses mostly natural ingredients.
Take care my friend and again thanks for the recipe.

Swathi-Your salad is so light and refreshing, love the addition of the fruits. I love Marzetti dressings, straight from the refrigerator section in the supermarket. We have no Kroger markets for years now, so I will have to check around where to find the Simply Dressed all natural kind!
Thanks for the yummy salad recipe, and the tip:DDD
Ranch dressing is my favorite! Your sweet and savory salad looks delicious!
