I have a bottle of Trader Joe's "Goddess" dressing, which I picked up a
few weeks ago thinking it was their version of GG, which I hadn't had in
decades. Not so! All it contains is: Canola oil, water, tahini (sesame),
apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, lemon juice, sea salt, garlic, sesame
seeds, parsley, chives, xanthan gum.

Now, I didn't really remember what proper GG tasted like, but when I
tasted this stuff I knew what it *didn't* taste like.
