Thanks to all who wrote about salad dressings. Below is a summary of your
responses and thoughts about salad dressings.
First of all, almost all of you said to avoid any dressing that had Bleu
Cheese in it; they are unsafe as no one can guarantee if the mold was taken from a
gluten source. One person suggested making her own with either Boar's Head
or Treasure Cave cheese. [as an aside, I have found that I cannot tolerate
Boar's Head Bleu Cheese; this could be an idiosyncratic response on my part; but
it does suggest that one has to be cautious using any bleu cheese.
Another new fact for us: Wishbone is no longer guaranteeing its salad
dressing to be gluten-free as they can no longer vouch for their vinegar source.
As for individual brands:
Annie's Naturals which are gluten free was the overwhelming favorite -- 8 of
you endorsed this brand. Website: www.anniesnatural.com
Kraft came in second with 4 votes. One responder said that Kraft Caesar
Vinaigrette was her favorite.
The following were suggested by one reader each: Drews, Newman's Own,
Litehouse, Marie's GF, Amy's salad dressings, Hellmans, Seeds of Change.
Two other recommendations:
Avoid all low fat and fate free dressings.
Some celiacs react to canola oil and that may be a cause of distress if that
is an ingredient in a salad dressing.
Thanks for all the information,
Carl
