We, the undersigned, graciously request that Girard's bring back their recently discontinued Original French Salad Dressing. Since its introduction in 1939, it has provided a uniquely wonderful and sophisticated taste to the salads of our grandparents, parents, children, and grandchildren. It has been a shining example of American product quality, stability, and longevity that is too quickly disappearing from our modern world. And it's loss would be another tragic example of the demise of an American icon. Therefore, we graciously request that Girard's reverse their decision to discontinue manufacturing of their iconic Original French Salad Dressing so that we and future generations might once again enjoy it's uniquely wonderful and flavorful taste.

This dressing was at one time the house dressing at a restaurant my family owned in SF. The restaurant sold in 1957. My father at one time tried to market it independently without success. I hope the current manufacturer will bring it back.

This dressing was the heart of my mother's Potato Salad. Now I make it all the time and reeive many compliments frim folks who norm ally don't like potato salad. I have passed her recipe to the next generation. Please rethink this decision.

This is only Girard's dressing that doesn't have sugar, or MSG, or some other unhealthy ingredient. And its the best tasting flavor of dressing ever in the history of the world! I will not buy any other Girard's flavor. I'll go back to Newmans probably.

I have been using Original French Dressing for many years. No other dressing thatI have tried compares. I spoke to the company today and was told there was a lack of demand, but it has always been hard to find on grocery shelves, so how could demand have slowed down?

NOT AGAIN!! This is the second, third, or fourth time you have discontinued this dressing in my lifetime. I have been using this dressing since I was 6 years old. It is MY FAVORITE DRESSING, BAR NONE. I am now 76! Please do not discontinue it. I use it every day.

My great grandfather created this recipe, it's the only flavor he ever created before selling the company. Please don't take this away!! I live in New York now and am constantly craving this dressing. It's the first thing I eat when I get home to California!!

This was the most unique tasting French dressing I’ve ever tasted. Please bring it back. This is a travesty, I’m serious.

I am pining for Original French. If you have to re-name it, that’s okay, just make the recipe again. Let us know what to look for. A fan for 60 years.
