Trader Joe's Vegan Creamy Dill Dressing Review


She says (Bridget): This is a little of a mixed bag, er, bottle. We tried this on two salads and also as a dip. The dressing itself is tasty, if a bit runny. I don't think it lives up to the "creamy" moniker. Just because cauliflower is white doesn't make it creamy. (While we're at it, it also isn't rice.) Taste-wise, it's good but a little bland. It's nice for dipping veggies like cucumbers and tomatoes but was overpowered by a cracker. There's not enough OOMPH in the dressing to stand up to a salad. The flavors in the dressing are just too subdued. 
Overall rating: 
2.5 out of 5 stars as a dressing
3.5 out of 5 stars as a veggie dip


He says (Mark): Love the ingredients list - it reads like a Who's Who of produce I enjoy: cauliflower, garlic, parsley, shallot, chives, etc. The creamy texture has a bit of potato-soup-like feel. The color and visual appeal are excellent. I'm sorry to say that I didn't enjoy it as much as I hoped. The dressing does not stand out in the flavor department ("….paging the manager…low-tastiness on aisle 5"). While I always taste before adding pepper and salt to my food, this needed too much to boost it to my liking.
Overall rating: 2 out of 5 stars

Will we buy this again? No. We'll try another!

Trader Joe's Vegan Creamy Dill Dressing: Not a hit. I (Bridget) blame the cauliflower.

I found this dressing to be a godsend. It is perfect for those of us who have to watch the sodium and can’t have dairy. By careful living I have not over salted my taste buds and killed them like so many tv cooks I see. You can always add salt but you can’t get rid of it.

I was surprised to read the comments, years ago the discontinued lemon dill sauce was amazing, I guess I'll have to try this one.
