I recently received a coupon for a free bottle of Bitten Salad Dressing. I found it at Smith's grocery store and we decided on the Lemon Poppy Seed Dressing.
I was expecting this to have a lemon zing to it but I can't detect any lemon flavor at all. It mostly tastes like an Italian dressing to me. This dressing is thick, so thick I couldn't get it to pour out of the bottle. I had to take a knife and coax it out. I will say it has a pleasant taste but I'm bummed that I can't detect any lemon flavor at all.
This would be perfect if they thinned it out a bit with some lemon juice. That would make it more pour-able and give it a lemon kick. There are a lot of poppy seeds in this dressing which might be adding to the thickness of it. So while this does have a good taste to it, it's lacking lemon flavor, is very thick and tastes more like a zesty Italian dressing to me.
We did enjoy it with our salad that night with dinner and the next day for lunch but I'm not sure that I would get it again.

If it says lemon you should be able to taste lemon. Glad that you didn't have to spend money on it.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Yeah that's what I thought too.
DeleteFalse advertising! It says lemon, it should taste like that.
ReplyDeleteRight, I was really expecting a lemon taste.
DeleteI've never heard of Smith's. I'm going to see what flavors they have at Walmart so I can use my coupon too. I don't like poppyseeds, so it will be something else.
ReplyDeleteI hope whatever flavor you get it actually tastes like what it says on the bottle. lol
DeleteYeah, the lemon flavor would be the reason for me to grab it, too. Glad it was good, but I can see where it would still be disappointing. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend, Mary!
Thanks, you too.
DeleteDang, I'll be it would be good with some lemon!
ReplyDeleteIt would be. I might just add some to it and see.
DeleteAt least it was okay, better than not.
ReplyDeleteThat's very true.
DeleteThat is just too thick
ReplyDeleteIt does need thinning out.
DeleteThat's strange it doens't taste like lemon, but at least the taste was okay. It does look like it has enough poppy seeds at least.
ReplyDeleteIt has more than enough poppy seeds. lol
DeleteThat's too bad it didn't have any lemon zip to it. I like lemon too.
ReplyDeleteI might just add some lemon juice to it and see.
DeleteI bet it would taste good with some lemon in it.

I'm going to add some to it and see.
DeleteI'm not one for creamy salad dressings but it'd be an absolute no for me if I had to coax it out with a knife and practically spread it on the salad! :/
ReplyDeletelol I think I just need to think it out with some lemon juice. I'll do their work for them and make it better.
DeleteI've never had lemon poppyseed dressing. Weird considering how much I eat lol
ReplyDeleteKaren @ For What It's Worth
lol It was a first for me too.
DeleteYeah I'd really expect to have some lemon in there, too.
