Tracy’s Gourmet Salad Dressing and Marinade Review
As a member of Women of Culinary, I had the opportunity to review Tracy’s Gourmet Dressings and Marinades free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review of the products. #ad
For the past 6 years of so, I have been changing up my eating every January and with it includes more salads, but the dressings. They have so much in them that I am better off just doing oil and vinegar and adding my own seasoning, but I get bored with it.
With the need for clean salad dressings that have ingredients that you can read, pronounce and actually understand, there are not many in that category that I have found. There are even fewer that have a woman as the owner, creator, crafter and master blender, so it is a pleasure for me to be able to introduce to some of you and refresh the memories of others of Tracy’s Gourmet.
After reading some of Tracy’s story, I can honestly relate (heart disease in my family) and I am glad that she did journey down this road which helped improved her health as well as the health of others. You see, Tracy found herself weighing 257 pounds and having a history of heart disease she saw the need to change and it would have to start with her. Her change included eating more salads only to find the dressing had harmful and unfamiliar ingredients in them that did not help the situation at all, but she changed that by creating her own.
Tracy’s Gourmet Salad Dressing and Marinade Review
I was privileged to try three of the salad dressings/marinades and they are:
Aloha Kick Salad Dressing and Marinade
Great to use as a marinade on meats and then grill. If you are expecting this dressing to be very sweet, it is not. Do not worry about it. It has the perfect amount of pineapple juice and marmalade. Yum.

Luscious Lavendar Salad Dressing and Marinade
Used on my simple salad (avocado, tomatoes, onions and romaine lettuce). Shake well and then use as you like. This was one of my salads that do when I have the bare minimum for a salad but you can taste the lavender. It is light, but you can tell by the smell and the floral taste. 
Dillightful Salad Dressing and Marinade
Used to make a pasta salad that only require a few ingredients: onions, broccoli, tomatoes and Explore Cuisine Organic Red Lentil Penne Pasta. Coat the ingredients with this dressing to your liking and put it in the refrigerator to cool. Add some sea salt to your liking and serve. My first time making pasta salad, but it will not be my last. This dressing is perfect and not overpowering. Usually dill is not my favorite, but it is a keeper and next marinating some chicken.
The flavor of the dressings are 5 out of 5. Packaging is 5 out of 5, no broken bottles or leaking dressings. Price is $5.99 each which is reasonable for a clean and organic dressing. I cannot wait to see what else Tracy has in her arsenal:)

I had had a chance to try the lavendar salad dressing by Tracy’s . For me it was more appealing to my nose than my taste buds. But maybe thats just me. Since that now you are recommending them, I will make sure to try their other flavors as well.
Jana
I like your review and to be honest I’ve never heard about these products before. Now I will be curious to try it myself.

I’m not into convenience food and in general try to cook from scratch – even mayonnaise. So I hardly ever buy ready made dressings, since especially those are super easy and fast to make: lemon, oil, herbst, mustard, a little pepper and salt – hello dressing, may I introduce you to the salad?! When I have more time, I put something more interesting and exotic together, but this would be the basic dressing. As fast as opening a bottle…

Thank-you so much for writing about Tracey’s salad dressings. You’re so right that clean (and delicious tasting) salad dressing are really hard to come by. I also really like the flavor combinations to keep meals interesting and putting over pasta sounds yummy. I’m such a sucker for pasta salad. I’ll keep my out for these the next time I’m at the grocery or Whole Foods. x

These salad dressings seem like they would be delicious to try! I also hope to improve my eating and relationship with food and I think these salad dressings might help me. I might try them one day!

I’m very impressed by your review on these salad dressings and marinades. It is so hard to buy any salad dressing that isn’t full of fat , sugar and salt not to mention nasty preservatives. To find a range like this is rare and at a very good price too.
Nina
Wow that story is cool. Weighing 257 pounds is not healthy, so that’s awesome that she found a way to loose weight and eat healthy.
Sonia
