Most have a weird aftertaste to me. The ketchup does, and Thousand Island did too. I added some dijon mustard to the Thousand island, so I didn't waste it. I like the Chipotle Ranch and the bbq sauce. The ones that have a little spice to them don't seem to bother me.

I REALLY struggled finding WF dressings that I could eat. I use the Italian almost all the time. The raspberry vinagerette is also good especially on a salad with grilled chicken on it. The honey bbq is good for alot of things including dressing. I found the honey dijon--beyond nasty----but a friend of mine really enjoys it. I sampled the bacon ranch and it was okay. I have not tried any other products yet.

Thanks for all of your responses everyone! It seems that there are a few products that most people like: the bacon ranch and the bbq. I might just have to give those a try! I appreciate your input. :)

When I started (9 months ago), I could hardly stand any of it. As time as gone by I love the BBQ sauce (both kinds) on any kind of meat I eat. I love the dijon mustard dressing and the bacon ranch (YUM). I use the chocolate in my coffee with a RTD chocolate drink in there, too. I hated the seafood sauce in the beginning and I use it with shrimp and crab all of the time. It5 is true - our tastes do change on this diet.

I agree with Rosemary! Your tastes will change. ;) I disliked all the dressings at first. I initially just ate my salad with salt and pepper. That way I think I learned to TASTE the salad and veggies on it. Now I use even the WF on the side, just dipping a tiny bit on every second or third bite, and I taste both. If I am eating out I get dressing on the side, use salt and pepper, then just barely dip the tines of the fork in the dressing every few bites. After all, I don't expect to be able to drench my salad in regular dressings when I am on maintenance; even the thought now is really repugnant to me. Be patient. :hug: I now like most the dressings except the raspberry! And the Big Mac recipe is now a favorite....I may never eat a burger with a bun again! :carrot::carrot:

Debbie,who will start Phase 3 in another week!

My thoughts:
Ranch dressing--not that great.
Bacon ranch--I like that. Have it over spinach everyday.
Chocolate sauce--weird but almost edible. Maybe with something.
BBQ--ok, a little sweet.
BBQ thick and spicy--good. The spicyness distracts from the sweetness.
Peanut butter--ewww.

I think this is all a taste thing - so I will preface my reviews with this - I HATE the taste of artificial sweetners (I am highly allergic to aspartame - so anything that tastes of artificiality makes me nervous even if it isn't aspartame). I am also a trained chef so I tend to be a bit of a food snob so that is where my reviews are coming from -- and I should add that my food downfalls rarely involve sweets but usually (at least before IP) involve savory carbs (I won't torture you all with a list :-) -- but that will help frame my reviews)

I cannot eat any of the WF products straight out of the bottle - so here is what i do

Ranch -- YUCK, YUCK, YUCK - but since I bought it here is how I doctor it up to be passable --I add good quality dijion mustard, a splash or 6 of lemon juice, anchovy paste, garlic paste, fresh (or dried) dill, a lemon shallot pepper, and some franks (or whatever brand you like) hot sauce for a buffalo ranch flavor -- this is passable

Ceasar - okay -- I use it as a base for my basil spinach pesto which I then stuff into chicken breasts --not sure I could eat this one on a salad by itself

Honey Dijon - really really weird aftertaste - I have not experimented enough to make this one a real crowd pleaser - I will update this thread if I find something that works

Italian - this is a good base to add more mustard, perhaps some curry powder, a little vinegar -- of all the dressings this one is the best out of the bottle but not exactly stellar

Ketchup-- This is my FAVORITE --and not for the ketchup - but it is an ideal base for many yummy creations (but by itself as ketchup-- it is only oka)--I make an Asian salad dressing using a dash of sesame oil, a few splashes of soy sauce, a bit of rice vinegar and some Chinese hot mustard powder -- very good on veggies (and in an Asian style slaw) and in stir fries -- I also use it as a base for my BBQ sauce (I make my own) -- I have served both the salad dressing and BBQ sauce to a crowded and got rave reviews (no one knew it wasn't the "real stuff") I also believe this is one of the dressing/condiments that does not have sucralose as one of the first 6 ingredients (which might be why I find this one the most palatable)

I have not tried any of the sweet stuff - so I cannot comment.

I hope this helps - or at least saves you a few dollars (I have spent more then I care to admit on these products but I guess in the name of research and experimentation I can sort of justify it)

CheekyWit, have you posted your BBQ sauce recipe? If not, would you?

I just posted it in the Recipe 2 thread-- thanks for asking (hope you like it or at least like your version as you experiment :))

GREAT TOPIC!!

Sesame Ginger = strange mix. Good as marinade or lightly on salad

Mayo = not been able to find in stores so maybe discontinued? Use it to make broccoli slaw and my own dressing creations

Ketchup = beside cocktail sauce, make BBQ sauce or Mexican seasoning.

All the dressings are odd, but Thous Island is most palatable on salad.

Well... I ordered SEVERAL things from WF website and have still yet to receive it... :(
I did find some dressing and the peanut butter spread at my local Meijer.. The PB is just down right nasty by itself.. The ranch... VERY sweet at first.. But I did a little doctoring and found it pretty good.. I added lots of pepper and Mrs. Dash spicy seasoning.. A little Chipolte Tabaso sauce is good too..

I tried a few and couldn't stand any of the dressings but I use the mayo quite a bit! I like it in the mocktato salad and I used it in a caserol once. It's the only one I would buy again! :) Next time I might try it for egg salad or the brocolli slaw is a good idea too!

1000 island is the only one I can stomach,

Yes...WF can be downright nasty. The peanut butter (if you can call it that) is totally weird, however...add some red chili, clove of chopped garlic, lime juice, 2-3 drops of dark sesame oil, soy sauce, and just a drop of liquid stevia, and you've got a pretty decent thai sauce for satay, asian style kabobs and so on.:hungry: You can also add fresh ground ginger to the mix if you like!

My Two Cents:
Ranch- It makes me want to throw up...not even joking! I may try the "doctored" up version (from above) so I dont waste it!
Chipolte Ranch is pretty good. I put it on my chicken fijita salad. Yum.
Bacon Ranch- not too bad
Chocolate Syrup-I add it to coffee and my EAS protien shakes. (I replace one IP with this)
Caramel Syrup-Good in coffee.
