There’s a new salad dressing in town
September 15th, 2009
I love Fanny’s salad dressing and was surprised to find that La Cantina now offers a Balsamic Vinigrette version. I bought some and sent it to my sister in Oregon who is a devoted Fanny’s original fan and got a bottle for Ethan and I to try.
It’s great stuff. Since we bought it I haven’t used original at all, not that I won’t use it anymore but it’s very good. I highly recommend anyone who is looking for a new salad dressing to give it a try. I’m guessing they offer it at La Cantina but I found it at Stop & Shop.
Hey - La Cantina (and Fanny’s dressing) was featured tonight on Chronicle’s show about the Metrowest towns along Rte. 135! (The segment they did on Natick was particularly nice.)
I love Fanny’s original “lite” dressing — it doesn’t have any of that artificial flavor or guar-gummy texture. I’ll have to keep an eye out for the balsamic version now, too!

I love Fanny’s dressing! I am so happy to hear they have expanded their selection. Why is it that the dressing s so good, from La Cantina, and the food is so lousy?

I love Fanny’s dressing so I’m excited to try this variety. And between Fanny’s and Ken’s Steak House, I think we should consider calling Framingham the Salad Dressing Capital of the World.

This is fabulous with salad of locally grown (of course) tomatoes and mozzarella cheese!

The comment about Framingham being the Salad Dressing Capital of the World had me laughing. But it is true! Don’t forget that Gerard Farms has their own dressing too!

I worked at La Cantina in the mid- to late-70s and knew Fanny. She was a wonderful person and we loved the salad dressing. It was a real family type place with Phil, the two Leos, Joe the Pizza Man, Phil’s wife, Natalie (her mom) and a bunch of other nice people working there.
