The product range embraces simpler recipes when compared to conventional alternatives on the market with simplified ingredients without losing sight of bold flavor. The dressing range features six varieties including Balsamic Vinaigrette, Homestyle Ranch, Creamy Caesar, Strawberry Poppyseed, Lemon Vinaigrette and Avocado Green Goddess. The dressings are each suited for salads, but are also well-suited for being used across a variety of additional recipes to maximize flavor. The Marzetti Simply Dressed salad dressing range is arriving now at retailers in the US and comes as a replacement to the brand's Marzetti Simply line.
