Italian dressing - a vinaigrette with garlic and herbs: oregano and basil and dill dressing, salad dressing - savory dressings for salads; basically of two kinds: either the thin French or vinaigrette type or the creamy mayonnaise type , Light Balsamic balsamic (bäl·sämˑ·ik), n a substance that can soften and reduce mucus. Vinaigrette and Light Raspberry & Walnut. They have 50 percent less fat and 40 percent fewer calories than regular dressings. We liked them all, with the Italian and Raspberry (even though a tad sweet) being our favorites. The Italian has a refreshing lemon flavor, unusual in an Italian dressing. The Balsamic, while good, had an overwhelming strong balsamic flavor - even a bit much for balsamic lovers. It would probably be great for marinating vegetables or using on grilled poultry, fish or beef. All are definitely worth trying. Each 16-ounce bottle retails for about $3.29 at supermarkets. - N.H.
