<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi All-- I'm SO behind in my summaries...I apologize. For my first summary, my questions were: Does anyone know of an Italian salad dressing I can use as a marinade - and is Wendy's Ceasar side salad gf (not the dressing, but the cheese and bacon bits they add)? Thanks to everyone who responded! More people seemed to know of Italian salad dressings than how to answer the Wendy's Ceasar side salad question. I've separated the answers to the two questions below: GF Italian Salad Dressing Paul Newman's Italian with Balsamic (sp?) Vinegar (the regular Italian is NOT gf) NOTE: Another person wrote that Paul Newman's Italian was gf - best to check with the company. Hellman's Italian - 4 Good Seasons (in a dry packet) - 4 Seven Seas Viva Italian (NOT the low fat) Wishbone Red Wine Vinaigrette Wishbone Italian (the Creamy Italian contains soy sauce and so is not gf) - 4 Consorzio Baja Lime Annie's Balsamic Vinaigrette (better than the Tuscany) ________________________________ Wendy's Ceasar Side Salad (w/o dressing) I had to call the company on this. According to Wendy's, yes, the cheese and bacon on the Ceasar side salad is gf, thus making the entire salad gf - you need to use your own dressing. On the other hand...BEWARE! After I called them, I went out of town over the weekend and ate one meal at Wendy's. I originally ordered a plain baked potato, but they didn't have any ready, so I ordered a Ceasar side salad and a small chili. I had a gluten reaction, but because I put the chili on the salad, I don't know which caused the problem (guessing that it was the salad) I frequently order a garden side salad and top it with chili (cheaper than ordering the taco salad) and have never had a problem with that. So, my advice is to either verify for yourself that the Ceasar side is gf or order at your own risk. I will probably report this to Wendy's, but I'm not sure it will help much. Thanks, again, to all who responded...hope the information has been helpful. Ayn/Kansas
