    I tried the honey mustard dressing and it was gross. It smelled like lighter fluid, and did not taste much better. I have been scared to try anything else by them

    To each their own, but I got freaked out when I saw they are basically just jars of chemicals. Made the mistake of buying some a couple years ago and was so disgusted by the texture and smell I had to throw them out. I actually nearly threw up when I smelled the "marshmallow" dip.

    I'm nowhere near a clean eater, and most definitely wasn't at all back then, but even I couldn't bring myself to do it after reading the jars and smelling the products. I'd rather have a small portion of something delicious and satisfying to my soul than be able to have some extra of something scary and barely palatable just because of a lack of calories.

    I actually like the Ranch dressing - it's very zippy. It's basically just vinegar, herbs and stabilizers though. I would just as soon some arugula with lemon juice and ground pepper or lightly dress some greens in a bit of Dijon mustard.

    I liked the 1000 Island dressing. It is also good on a sandwich.

    I tried the marshmallow dip once and almost threw up. I haven't tried any of their stuff since.

    I've tried their barbeque sauce, both the regular and bold flavors. Loved both of them. Can't find them in our local stores anymore.

    Worst thing I have ever tried. I tried the Peanut butter- Disgusting; I tried the caramel dip- Even worse
    It seriously tasted like melted plastic.
    Not for me; but to each his own .

    My opinion is that eating these are a fate worse than death.

    I feel the same way. When you hear "calorie free" think about HOW they get their foods to be calorie free. To each their own, but I would never put that into my body. That's not food, it's poison.

    food is not meant to be created in a lab and is not meant to be calorie free! The whole point of eating is to sustain the body with energy which we get from calories.

    I was it at Henry's Farmers Market grocery store in San Diego so it's definitely in parts of Cali

    I've never tried them because I was too freaked out by the idea and I usually don't like the flavors of modified foods

    I tired the chipolte ranch and I didnt like it on salad but I didnt want to waste it. I put it in the slow cooker with some chicken breasts and veggies. Turned out pretty good.

    I want to try the chocolate.

    Their Creamy Bacon Dressing was really good and I also like the Raspberry Fruit Spread (jelly, I suppose). The Whipped Peanut Butter was just not for me, I took it back. I would definitely like to try the caramel and chocolate sauces and the syrup, haven't found them in a local market yet.

    If you're not familiar with the brand, you can check out their website, and also order off of it. http://www.waldenfarms.com/

    There are much worse ingredients in regular salad dressings.

    The peanut butter was the most disgusting thing I have ever eaten. The mayo was also disgusting. The chocolate sauce was okay. Not great, but not terrible. The BBQ sauce was okay as well.
    I tried a few of the salad dressings, and found that while some of them tasted okay, they didn't taste like the flavor they were supposed to taste like. The French dressing in particular.
    I don't eat their products anymore though because they are very hard to get where I live. There's really only one store that sells them, and it's across the city from me. And also because I've adopted a more "clean" approach to food.

    You can buy Walden Farm products on Vitacost.com (cheaper than the actual Walden Farms site, too).
