Organicville
Posted by The Frugal Diva on 20th July 2010
In life we have little luxuries that make all the difference - the fabulous soap that transforms your bath into a day spa experience, a T shirt so soft it is just a whisper on your skin, and a salad dressing that makes a leap past oil and vinegar.
Organicville is an all organic line that qualifies as a little luxury that gives you a big return. The Frugal Diva wants to eat salads all the time however The Frugal Dude wants them to be different and interesting. Enter Organicville Miso Ginger Vinaigrette – organic, gluten free, and sweetened with agave. At $3.69 this gives you the opportunity to turn 8 salads into superstars. Part of Frugal Diva thinking is that the whole is cheaper then the sum of its parts. In other words, if I had to buy miso which I rarely use, ginger that has to be pealed and pureed, and agave sweetener this salad dressing would cost a whole more more.
Miso Ginger adds a shot of flavor turning a salad into an Asian entree. With either some left over chicken or cubed tofu, this qualifies as a quick, light meal on a hot summer night.
