I wanted to like this, but it’s completely unpalatable, so much so that I wondered if it had gone bad. It’s genuinely awful.

Was not good at all. Had to throw the salad away.

I love fig and balsamic together, so I bought a bottle a few weeks ago. After using it a couple of times, I strained it to get rid of tough bits of what I assume were bits of fig. I just bought a second bottle today, and poured some over leftover quinoa, and the quinoa, which was fine last night, had bits of grit, like fine sand, throughout.

I’m a big Trader Joe’s fan, but the Balsamic Fig dressing tastes bad, plain and simple. It is unbalanced and has an off-putting flavor, as Debra and Katherine mention above. Really unworthy of the brand name.

My all time FAVORITE Salad dressing. So delicious, I buy 4 bottles at a time so I don’t have to worry about running out!!!!

Can’t believe Trader Joe’s could sell something so awful. Runny consistency, super sweet and the most off-putting aspect, little hard crunchy bits like fig seeds. It ruined a perfectly good salad. Dumped it in the trash.

When it comes to balsamic vinegars and salad dressing, I am very picky. This dressing is amazing! I cannot believe the low ratings. I was sad when the bottle was empty.

This stuff is delicious! I love that it’s relatively low-cal (for a salad dressing), and tons of flavor. A store associate recommended it to my husband when they were out of our regular balsamic dressing and I probably wouldn’t have tried this otherwise. I’m SO glad he brought this home!

Way too sweet for a salad. I’m trying to think up a way to use it . Maybe some kind of pork glaze??

TJ’s balsamic fig dressing is fantastic. The ingredients are few and pronounceable. WHY ON EARTH IS THIS DISCONTINUED, PLEASE BRING BACK?

Best dressing I have ever had. Organic with olive oil as the only oil and lower cal for dressing. Everyone who ever tries it at my home loves it. My main reason for shopping at TJ. I’m so so bummed it’s discontinued. Please please bring it back!

Absolutely delicious! I went specifically there tonight to buy some and learned it was discontinued! That’s a shame. It’s a fabulous dressing. (I don’t understand the poor reviews above… maybe they didn’t shake it up? Lol)

This was an excellent salad dressing. It had the healthiest ingredients of the organic TJs dressings. All other organic dressings seem to have mostly soybean oil as a primary ingredient. It was discontinued. Please bring it back.

I really love this dressing. The fact that it contains 100% olive oil is a bonus that is hard to find in bottled dressing. I’m so disappointed that it’s discontinued. It was one of the reasons that I would shop at Trader Joe’s.
