Girard’s Premium Dressings!!! Giveaway

 A tasty giveaway…

Girard’s Premium Dressings. Created In San Francisco in 1939.

“Without compromise, Girard’s Salad Dressings are prepared with the finest and freshest

ingredients that please even the most discriminating palates.”

A brief history.

In 1939, famed French Chef Pierre Girard created Girard’s, the maker of America’s

favorite salad dressing, in the heart of San Francisco. Chef Girard began with a recipe for his popular Original

French dressing. He gradually expanded the brand with many tantalizing and unique varieties.

Over the decades, Girard’s Salad Dressings prominence for their superior quality and distinctive triangular

glass bottle.  In 1991, Girard’s was acquired by the T. Mazetti Company, head-quartered in Columbus Ohio. T.

Mazetti founded in 1896, is Americas leading manufacturer in specialty foods!!

 

Girard’s is giving 5 lucky readers all four flavors, that is four flavors given to each winner!!!

I was contacted by the lovely Angela, she represent Marzetti, the Columbus, Ohio-based food producer serving

millions of consumers and restaurants around the country.

Girard’s has partnered with Epicurious.com to create the Everyday Elegance, which combines recipes and

cooking tips with guest entertaining and family mealtime advice while offering readers new ways to

experience Girard’s beyond the tossed salad.

They sent information on ways to host and elegant affair, recipes, and ways of setting and elegant dinner table,

that I will be sharing with you.

Here is a tip:

The key to an elegant table setting is balance. Everything on the table must be geometrically spaced

at equal distances and all flatware balanced. And if you forget some of the details, always remember that you

eat to your left, drink to your right and that you use the silverware farthest from your plate first---you’ll get the

table setting right!

 

Here is a link to an online coupon for $2.00 off one bottle of Girard’s here!

Please, note that the coupon is on a first come, first serve basis, so be sure to act fast before the offer runs out.

I love to eat, ( healthy) style and photograph food!

Food can be photographed so beautifully, it can be its own work of art!

This is such  fun opportunity.

I will be showing a different recipe for each new dressing.

In this post I

prepared something quick and

healthy using Girard’s Traditional Champagne Dressing to start.

A Traditional Cobb Salad:

Shredded Chicken

Avocado

Bacon

Blue Cheese

Scallions

Fresh Pico de gallo

Girard’s Champagne Dressing

 

Each week I will share a new recipe using their new dressings!

Apple Poppy Seed, Peach Mimosa, and Creamy Balsamic.

Gals, Girard’s Premium Salad Dressings is amazing! I usually make my own, but

not like this. So much flavor your mouth will burst…it is one of the best dressings around

ok, all this talk of food, I want some, hold on I am going to

the kitchen

to get some of that Cobb…

In the meantime visit my friend Christians new blog!

She has an amazing home.

She started a blog, with a little encouragement from moi.

Now we get to see this girls talent all the time!

I am so happy for you!
