Olive Oil & Balsamic Vinaigrette
How we scored it
The vinaigrette contains beneficial ingredients like olive oil and balsamic vinegar, but the presence of soybean and canola oils, along with added sugar, detracts from its healthiness. The level of processing and inclusion of these less desirable oils and sugar result in a moderate score.
