DressingBarn
Small-batch dressings, vinaigrettes, and marinades made with fresh herbs and good vinegar. Expect buttermilk ranch, pepper jelly vinaigrette, and comeback sauce worth keeping in the door of the icebox. Nothing here tastes like the grocery shelf.
Before dressing came in plastic bottles, it came in whatever jar was clean. A little vinegar, a little sweet, whatever herb was growing by the back steps. These makers still shake theirs by hand.
