Bitton's Salad Dressing contains peanut oil, olive oil, soybean oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, mustard, salt, and xanthan gum (a natural thickener). It's a classic French vinaigrette style using quality oils and bold garlic flavour. The blend of oils provides body and flavour without being too heavy. Simple ingredients, perfect balance - that's the secret.

Yes, Bitton Dressing works well as a marinade for chicken, lamb, or vegetables. The vinegar and oil combination tenderises while the garlic and mustard add flavour. Marinate meat for 2-4 hours or overnight. Reserve some dressing to drizzle over the cooked dish for extra flavour. It's particularly good with chicken thighs or lamb chops.

Bitton Dressing is a French vinaigrette style - a classic emulsion of oil and vinegar with mustard, garlic, and seasonings. It's more robust than delicate Italian dressings and less creamy than American ranch-style. The balance leans towards savoury and garlicky rather than sweet. It's the versatile, everyday dressing that French cafés have perfected - simple but perfectly executed.
