\"20150205_180622\"<\/a>Before there was “siracha” and “chipotle” everything, \u00a0there was Vidalia Onion everything. \u00a0Vidalia onions are sweet, and grown in certain areas of the U.S. state of Georgia, only. \u00a0It has been Georgia’s official state vegetable for 25 years. \u00a0Who knew states had official vegetables? Not many do, here’s as complete a list<\/a> as we have found.<\/p>\n

While the onions can only be grown in a small geographical area, products with their flavoring can be made anywhere, by anybody, as long as they meet certain content requirements. \u00a0One can order the onions<\/a> or said products online<\/a>, of course.<\/p>\n

There are any number of co-packers or contract manufacturers willing to slap your \u00a0store or establishment name on their Vidalia onion product, and one that I picked up was from an Illinois farm product store<\/a>, “Vidalia Onion Cucumber Dill” Salad Dressing.<\/p>\n

Ingredients include: \u00a0Soybean oil, Cucumbers, Water, Vidalia Onions, Cane Sugar, Vinegar, Egg Yolk, spices and preservatives, and comes in a 12 oz bottle.<\/p>\n

The onion flavor is pronounced, and the dill subtle. \u00a0For my taste, reversing those would be better. \u00a0It’s very creamy tho, and will certainly please many. \u00a0Vidalia Onion products are here to stay, not sure we can say the same for siracha and chipotle. \u00a0One hopes not.<\/p>\n

I eat fair amount of salad, especially with garden grown ingredients, and no matter how many different flavors are rolled out, my favorite dressing is still Litehouse Chunky Blue Cheese<\/a>.<\/p>\n
