Looking for a Port Wine Cheese Salad Dressing

[DetectDave]

I recently had a port wine cheese salad dressing at a Cajun restaurant in Cape Girardeau, MO. My request for the recipe was denied due to the product being made off site by persons "unknown". I really enjoyed the dressing and was wondering if anyone has a similar recipe. I've searched the Net and have come up empty. Thanks in advance for your help.

jmtwo, that doesn't sound like the one, but there are several more out there now that I'll have to try. It's been a few years since I last looked. Broussards and Tractors in Jackson both have a wine and cheese house dressing - you should try them. Soooo good.

I still see that this is still an issue 5 years later. I live in Sikeston, MO. South of Cape G and Jackson for only 4 months!
Same problem here. STILL! Dexters serves the wine and cheese dressing. SO does our chinese buffet, pizza inn, and many other restraunts in this area, I have asked. Dexters said they got it online from cosco, i believe. Can't find it there. I'm still looking. THey have to be getting from somewhere. Keep asking. AND when you do find it. LET US KNOW< and I will write to WALMART of FOOD GIANT and give them a plug. One place I have not yet checked is Boomland. Its very very possible they may carry it. THey often carry things you can't get anywhere else!

Rejoice!! I found it!! (Again) Used to be you could buy it Each Naturally Fresh® Gift Pak of 6 is $39.95 includes s&h. Yes, expensive, and they're only 12oz jars! Not sure how much the 4- 1 gal jars cost, but you'll find here: https://www.naturallyfresh.com/foodse...
Scroll down... Sold via foodservice size only now, it may seem like a lot, but when you really like something... get friends to buy in with you.

Looks to me as if one could make this dressing at home. When you read through the ingredient list on the Naturally Fresh website the dressing seems to be a type of vinaigrette.

I am assuming that the ingredients are listed by the quantity used in the recipe as is normal on labels. If so we have oil,water, vinegar & sugar followed by the cheddar cheese, The first 4 ingredients make up a pretty classic vinaigrette. We then add the cheese. Then salt & finally get down to the port. (I'm guessing that the quantity of port is pretty small.) Some egg is added as a thickener and a few herbs with garlic. Plus, this being a commercial recipe the various coloring's & preservatives.

I strongly suspect that with a little experimentation one could come up with a pretty good version of Port & Cheddar Cheese dressing.

Have a go & let me know.

Yank, It's not a vinaigrette. It's mayo based, which is still the oil, water, vinegar. But thanks for your suggestion.
MamaByrd, so this is a similar dressing to Broussards? The creamy dressing? YAY! Going to check it out now!

I am in Cape Girardeau now, but I have never had that dressing. I found this on Google:

Well, Naturally Fresh used to make a killer wine and cheese dressing, but I don't see it on their page any more. I wrote them to ask, waiting... In the meantime, I haven't tried this, but check here: http://www.briannassaladdressing.com/... for one that may do the trick.

I see this is very old, but did you ever find the recipe for Broussard's dressing? I have wanted it for years with no luck. Tractors in Jackson has a similar dressing.
