How do people feel about "Hellmans"? i have had the mayo but generally,
mayo is mayo, from one brand to the next, not much difference (though i
get a Mexican mayo that is made with lime juice) i am about to put my
shoes on and go out and purchase a bottle of Hellmans Italian Balsamic
vinaigrette.

I noticed it the other day for 3 dollars for a large bottle and
mentioned it to the "elderly relative" who was most desirous of
acquiring a bottle, she has not had it in over 40 years, since moving
from NYC to California.

I can only hope she has not been spoiled by my home made versions of
vinaigrettes (tip o the toque to Julia Child & "Mastering the art of
French cooking") and wont be disappointed at her memories of this product.

While i always make my own salad dressings i like to keep a quantity of
a commercial product around for the "elderly relatives" sake, for when i
am not available to make a salad dressing. Usually Garrards in the
triangular bottle but i am curious about this Hellmans Balsamic
vinaigrette myself.
