I had heard so much about Taylor Farms Dill Pickle Salad I had to pick one up! And no, the above photo is not what comes in the package. Let me show you what does.
The Product
Wow, $6.49 for a salad but it is the dead of winter and I was desperate for greens and I LOVE dill pickles!
The Salad
I opened the package and saw lots of greens, shredded cauliflower, kale, cabbage, raddishes… Um, where are the pickles?
The package also came with dill pickle seasoned brioche crouton crumbles which is a very cool idea but I started to get a bad feeling…
The Dressing
“Tossed in TANGY DILL PICKLE RANCH—packed with REAL chopped pickles…” You mean this thin little salad dressing package? Packed with chopped pickles? I don’t think so.
Foodie Results
It was an interesting taste experience. The dill pickle flavour was there but with what we were promised, there should have been a package with pickles in it to make this an actual dill pickle salad.
Taking It To The Next Level
I still had half the bag left over so I made the rest for lunch and added REAL CHOPPED PICKLES, ham, pasta…
Now THAT was a pickle salad and so much more.
I give them foodie kudos for making a salad taste like a pickle salad with almost zero pickles but that is not what I wanted nor was it what they promised to deliver. For me this was a dill pickle salad fail. Especially when I paid almost $7.
If you want pickle salad without significant pickles you will probably like this product. Me? I felt like it was false advertising. Seriously, all they had to do was include a few pickles in a little bag like the crumb topping and I would have been thrilled.
I give this product two and a half out of five wooden spoons because they failed to deliver what they promised. That ranch dressing was NOT packed with real chopped pickles. Flavour wise I give it a four out of five if you know what you are getting into and are not left disappointed at the dearth of pickles.
Yeah, that packaging was definitely misleading!
Thank you! It’s nice to know I am not the only one who thought so. What a shame! A woman on Twitter said most people are scared to actually put pickles in their salad. Maybe that’s why it has the flavour but hardly any of the actual pickle, LOL. Either way, false advertising.
AGREED!!
I’m at least inspired by your final salad! That looks awesome. 🙂
Thank you!!!!! I gotta say, that final salad I came up with kind of rocked. Just wish I had more of that dressing!
VERY disappointed. The picture on the front of the bag set your expectations sky high only to be let down once you actually try the product. No pieces of actual “dill pickles” and the amount of “dill pickle dressing” is not NEARLY enough to cover all the pieces of lettuce etc provided in the “pre made salad bag”.
Amazing Article!! This is really informative and knowledgeable for us, so thank you for sharing this information with us, it will really work. Love Your Blog.
