Our Merci Mon Ami Sesame Soy Vinaigrette recently earned a spot as an Editors’ Choice in Chatelaine magazine’s Best Purchases for October 2025. This recognition means a lot to us, and I want to share why this award matters, what makes our dressing stand out, and how it can elevate your salads and meals.

What the Editors’ Choice Award Means to Us
Being chosen by Chatelaine magazine, a trusted voice in Canadian lifestyle and food, is a huge honor. Their editors test many products before selecting the best, so this award reflects the quality and flavor that our Merci Mon Ami Toronto dressing brings to the table. It’s not just a win for our brand but a confirmation that Canadians appreciate a gourmet salad dressing made with care and authentic ingredients.
The award highlights our commitment to creating dressings that are both delicious and versatile. We believe a great dressing should do more than just add flavor; it should inspire creativity in the kitchen and make healthy eating enjoyable.
What Makes Merci Mon Ami Sesame Soy Vinaigrette Special
Our Merci Mon Ami Sesame Vinaigrette combines the rich, nutty flavor of toasted sesame with the savory depth of soy sauce. This blend creates a balanced dressing that works beautifully on salads, grilled vegetables, and even as a marinade.
Here’s why food enthusiasts and salad lovers keep coming back to this dressing:
Authentic Ingredients: We use high-quality sesame oil and naturally brewed soy sauce, avoiding artificial flavors or preservatives.
Balanced Flavor Profile: The vinaigrette is tangy, slightly sweet, and umami-rich, making it a perfect match for a wide range of dishes.
Versatility: It’s not just for salads. Try it drizzled over steamed greens, tossed with noodles, or as a dipping sauce for dumplings.
Made in Canada: Proudly crafted in Toronto, our dressing reflects the diversity and culinary creativity of Canadian food culture.
How to Use Merci Mon Ami Dressings in Your Kitchen
If you’re wondering how to make the most of our Merci Mon Ami gourmet salad dressing, here are some ideas that have delighted many of our customers:
Asian-Inspired Salad: Toss mixed greens, shredded carrots, sliced cucumbers, and toasted almonds with the sesame soy vinaigrette for a fresh, crunchy salad.
Grilled Chicken Marinade: Marinate chicken breasts in the dressing for 30 minutes before grilling to add a savory, nutty flavor.
Roasted Vegetables: Drizzle over roasted broccoli, cauliflower, or Brussels sprouts just before serving to add a burst of flavor.
Noodle Bowls: Use the vinaigrette as a sauce for cold soba or rice noodles, topped with scallions and sesame seeds.
These simple uses show how the dressing can transform everyday meals into something special without extra effort.
