Best salad dressing ever - Yasou Original Greek Dressing, brought to you by Ulysses Foods in Marlborough, Massachusetts. Unlike most "Greek" dressings, which are a sickening goop of feta cheese, this stuff is the closest I've ever tasted to what Greeks actually put on their salads in the comfort of their own homes. It's heavy on the olive oil, with a touch of vinegar and herbs, as opposed to your standard off-the-shelf salad dressings which are seemingly nothing but vinegar. The Greeks have a faith in the taste of olive oil, and lots of it, that can be a little disconcerting at first to outsiders, but trust me, once you start eating your vegetables this way there's no going back, especially when you have quality olive oil on hand. Oliviers & Co. offers a fantastic collection of olive oils from around the Mediterranean, as well as sea salts, peppers, herbs, and other kitchen essentials for all you gourmets and gourmands. There's nothing better than ripping into a freshly-baked loaf of Italian or French (or, in our neck of the woods here in New England, Portuguese) bread and dipping it into a plate of olive oil imported from the Peloponnese region of Greece, such as O & Co.'s Mantinea and Avia. Heavenly.
