Gluten Free Salad dressing

[dadroy]

Hi all, experienced cruiser but first time on NCL. DW is now eating gluten free and we have submitted everything to the special needs department and know about talking to maitre de on boarding to confirm options.

 

That being said, DW is wondering if the buffets have gluten free salad dressing and whether it is variable. In her words "eating the same dressing for every meal gets boring, I want some variety".

 

Thanks for any answers. A happy wife = another good cruise.

No answers? Unhappy wife = unhappy life:eek:

When I went on the Breakaway, although two years ago they had no gluten free dressing for me...but I did use oil and vinegar.

Thanks for the reply.

I didn't know salad dressing included wheat or other grains!

[Cruisegirl6]

Oh yes cb at sea...its in marinades, spices, sauces such as soy, gravies....binding agents and fillers....its in mineral supplements and vitamins too.

Just to be safe, and to have a little variety, have you thought about bringing along a bottle of your own dressing?

[dadroy]

DW has thought about it but we are a bit concerned about keeping it cold enough to be considered "refrigerated". She is going to look into Newmans Own, which is gluten free, and see if they really need to be refrigerated after opening or if the cooler in the room will keep it cool.

 

Even thinking about trying to put small containers of dressings into the ice bucket if needed.

 

Thanks all:)

If she brings her own salad dressing, I believe the wait staff will put it in refrigeration for her if she asks. I was at a table once when a man brought his own hot sauce and the wait staff had it on the table every night when he sat down for supper. They will keep open bottles of wine refrigerated for people. I would think the same would go for salad dressings. Wouldn't hurt to give it a try. You could keep it in your mini bar in your room too and just bring enough along each night for her salad in a paper cup.
