Default does anyone have a bottle of M&S French Dressing in your fridge?

I remember loving Marks and Spencer's Reduced Fat French Dressing when I was there. It was in their Count on Us range at the time, but I've heard they moved it out of the range for some reason. Anyway, our French dressing is tomato based and NOTHING at all like that dressing was. I lived on it, and even tried to take home a case, but that didn't work out too well. Long story. Anyway, if anyone happens to have a bottle, could you post the ingredients for me? I think I'll try to find a recipe and/or create my own. I don't have a clue what was in it, though.


Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Afraid I don't shop in markies,

Think Veggie does, maybe she could sneak in with pen and paper and note down all the ingredients, next time she goes for those chips she likes.

Have an image of Veggie now dressed like one of the french resistance woman in 'Allo 'Allo, with the beret and the trench coat, sneaking around the shelves in M&S with a secret squirrel notepad and pencil. "Lesten carefully for I will only say thees only once ......."

Sorry think the paracetamol has definately kicked in now.

I think that I have some xanthan gum, I bought it when I tried atkins for some recipe of other. I might be wrong though. As for the other one, who knows where youcan get that - lol.
