What You Should Know

You'd find this garlicky vinaigrette in the salad dressing aisle or refrigerated grab-and-go section, ready to drizzle on greens for a quick weeknight meal or to bring to a potluck. It feels convenient and slightly wholesome — bright apple-cider tang with a garlicky kick without extra prep. The smooth, emulsified texture and the presence of xanthan gum plus refined oil and added sugar signal industrial formulation and stabilization typical of ultra‑processed products.
