Mrs. Dash Review and Giveaway

They say variety is the spice of life, so why not spice up your food in a delicious way through seasonings? Find the perfect blend of seasonings for that juicy steak or that succulent chicken breast, and you'll be a-okay.



For Carol Bernick, Executive Chairman of the Alberto-Culver Company, necessity really was the mother of invention. In the 1980's, when Carol was a marketing exec at the Alberto Culver Co., she was frustrated with the products available to flavor the nutritious meals she prepared at home for her family. She needed a convenient way to flavor the food without using salt. So, Carol got creative in the kitchen and invented a salt-free blend of her own. Working with a variety of spice suppliers, Carol tasted, tested and tweaked until the blend in the bottle was just right. The result is Mrs. Dash® Original Blend, now the most popular salt-free blend in the seasoning category. (Taken from website.)

Today, Mrs. Dash Seasoning Blends are available in 14 different varieties that add flavor to foods — everything from seafood to salad and meat to mixed vegetables.

Whether you like onion and herb, chicken grilling, hamburger grilling, or even an Italian medley spice, Mrs. Dash has you covered.

I was sent 5 bottles of salt free spices for review purposes. I received table blend, tomato basil garlic, Caribbean citrus, fiesta lime, and onion and herb.


Get inspired by the real Island flavors of Mrs. Dash® Caribbean Citrus Seasoning Blend! This sweet yet savory, all-natural, salt-free mix of black and chili peppers, nutmeg, lime and orange adds a tropical twist to every meal. Amazing on chicken, pork, seafood or even fresh fruit.


No salt por favor! Take your meals south of the border when you turn up the flavor with all-natural Mrs. Dash® Fiesta Lime Seasoning Blend. Made with black and chili peppers, garlic and lime, just a dash adds a zesty twist to your favorite chicken, tacos, fish, rice, and guacamole. Watch your meals go from mediocre to fantastic fiesta in no time at all.


Shake up your favorite poultry, meatloaf, veggie or beef recipes with the classic, salt-free flavor of Mrs. Dash® Onion & Herb Seasoning Blend. An oh-so savory medley of onions, garlic, peppers and herbs brings a burst of all-natural flavor to any dish.


Ditch the salt and bring flavor back to the table with Mrs. Dash® Table Blend. Just a few shakes of its all-natural herbs and spices like onion and black pepper add a flavor that’s fit for any salt-free occasion.


Ignite the flavor of your favorite pastas, breads, appetizers and sauces with Mrs. Dash® Tomato Basil Garlic Seasoning Blend. This all-natural, robust, salt-free blend of tangy tomatoes, sweet basil, roasted garlic and other spices easily transforms everyday dishes into magnificent meals everybody will love.




I like that I was sent such a different medley of spices. It's fun to try different spices on old favorites. Spice up that plain chicken with the zippy bold taste of Caribbean citrus! I didn't notice a real difference in the taste of the salt-free spices though. I do like the lack of sodium in my diet from them though!

I used the Fiesta Lime seasoning on some grilled chicken that I browned up. It gave the chicken a nice burst of flavor that I really enjoyed. I usually just season my meat with seasoned salt and garlic powder, so this was a nice change from the usual. The taste of the spice was spicy but not anything that I couldn't handle. The lime kicked the spice up a notch and really gave the chicken some personality.

The onion and herb was fantastic on a steak that I made for my boyfriend tonight. Onion and herb are two flavors which compliment each other so well and taste fantastic together. He said the spice combined with the juicy, flavorful meat was awesome. The onion did not overpower the herb flavor, but both flavors were balanced and easily recognizable. He said he isn't sure he can eat the steak without the seasoning now!

I haven't gotten a chance to try the other spices, but I can't wait to use them in the near future on a dish that will really sparkle courtesy of Mrs. Dash!

  156. I would like to win because I'm on a salt restricted diet and food is so bland without salt. I'd love to try these to spice it up and see if they help! Thanks so much! pamelashockley(AT)netscape(DOT)net

  160. I would like these spices because I am a fairly new cook. My husband is getting used to my cooking needless to say he didn't like my cooking today, maybe these would help me out.
