Meet Big Mama
Big Mama, a name synonymous with delicious home cooking and vibrant flavors, has spent over four decades cultivating a garden paradise in her Miami, Florida backyard. Nestled amongst orange, lemon, lime, and a bounty of other citrus trees, fragrant herbs flourish alongside nutrient-rich greens. Big Mama's passion for fresh, wholesome ingredients isn't just about aesthetics – it's the foundation for her most beloved creation: Big Mama's Calamondin Vinaigrette.
Frustrated with store-bought dressings packed with sugar and preservatives, Big Mama embarked on a quest for a healthier option. The result? A delicious, gluten-free, and vegan dressing bursting with the vibrancy of her garden. Free from cholesterol and added sugar, this "liquid gold" – as Big Mama affectionately calls it – has been a family favorite for over 40 years. Now, she's sharing her legacy with the world.
Big Mama's Calamondin Vinaigrette is a testament to her dedication to family, flavor, and the earth. It's a culmination of a remarkable journey, one that earned her the cherished title of "Big Mama" – a symbol of love, warmth, and, of course, exquisite taste.

Let customers speak for us
I first came across this dressing at my in-laws' place - they'd been given some as a gift from a Floridian friend of theirs. I was hooked the moment I tried it - it's so tasty, and means I really enjoy the side salads have with my meals. I highly recommend it!
You can't go wrong with this vinaigrette. I mean WOW! My absolute favorite dressing I've ever tried. I bought this while visiting Pinecreset Gardens. They had a farmers market and it was so good I had to buy one. My only regret is not buying more! I wish they sold this at my local publix. ):
If you love a citrus and vinegar based dressing, this is for you. It is bursting with flavor. It is a great marinade as well. I use it on salmon, chicken and shrimp in addition to salads. It is so light and packed with flavor. It does not have a bottled dressing taste.
There’s no other salad dressing, marinade or dipping sauce quite like it! It’s tangy and light! Goes literally on anything and everything!
Adding Big Mama's Calamondin Vinaigrette to our salads was so refreshing. I was not aware of the fruit but we decided to give it a try as it sounded interesting. The vinaigrette was very light and had a really nice subtle tang to it. Everyone in my family enjoyed it and we'll be adding it into our salad dressing rotation.
Delicious! Low calorie! Low carb! No sugar or salt! Vegan and versatile. Why would you use any other dressing?
I love homemade dressing and have experimented with many different combinations of flavors. I have never even come close to this dressing! I have used it on salads, seafood, chicken and vegetables. I am very pleased and will be a repeat customer!
Used it last night on a arugula and basil salad with roasted almonds and it was fantastic! My wife is allergic to soy and it hard to find dressings she can have! Looking forward to recipes using this fantastic dressing! Thanks Mark
Big mama’s vinaigrette is the best I have ever tested. and the best of it is it contains just a few healthy ingredients. So much so that if there is some vinaigrette left at the bottom of my salad plate, I take a teaspoon and I finish it up! It is also excellent as a marinade. I use it on shellfish fish and poultry. I sent it to my friends who love to cook and ladies in my family and they love it. I very highly recommend it. Catherine.
Big Mama's dressing tastes amazing, very natural and light, with no added sugars, and so low in calories too! I am so glad I do not have to share it with anyone.
I can have all I want!
I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure, and Afib as well as having diabetes, and I’ve always struggled finding a dressing that had low sodium, low carbs, and had a good taste. I was a true lover of hidden valley ranch dressing, and would consider nothing else for most of my life however, I took a chance and tried Big Mama’s Dressing and I am in love! Now with 35 grams of sodium and zero carbs I can have as much as I want on my veggies, salads, crackers etc. The sky is the limit! The dressing has such great flavor and I am hooked. I have 50 more pounds to lose and with this dressing I know I will reach my goal. Thanks Big Mama!!
I got hooked on the unique flavor of this handmade vinaigrette dressing and love that it’s low calorie, with no sugars or preservatives. Since I live in Michigan, I was really excited to get free shipping from Florida! 😃
I’ve tried many salad dressings and Big Mamas is like no other. It’s so good every time! Use it on everything from salads to chicken or fish as a marinade.
We Love this dressing. It’s thick and creamy and covers the salad well without wilting the lettuce. We’ve used up most of the first bottle now! I’m so happy I decided to try it. I’ll be back for more soon.

Calamondin: A Tiny Taste Sensation
Calamondin is a citrus gem – a small, round fruit with a big flavor punch! This Southeast Asian native thrives right here in Miami, Florida, and is a close relative of both the mandarin orange and the kumquat. Calamondin is also referred to as Calamansi, which is the Philippine English spelling of Tagalog kalamansi.
A Flavor Adventure
Calamondins offer a unique taste bud experience. Imagine a burst of tart citrus like a lime, perfectly balanced with the sweetness of a mandarin orange. The rind is also edible, boasting a delightful sugary taste.
Calamondins in the Kitchen
Calamondins are incredibly versatile. Their bright, tangy juice is a favorite ingredient in jams, pies, and cocktails. Big Mama even has a signature Vodka Calamondin Juice cocktail you won't want to miss!
Big Mama's Calamondin Vinaigrette
We love using calamondins in our kitchen! The tartness of the juice adds a delightful zip to our homemade salad dressing. We balance the calamondin's punch with the sweetness of the peel, creating a unique and flavorful experience.
Here's what makes our dressing special:
Calamondin Juice & Peel: A delightful sweet-tart combination.
Garlic Chives: A touch of green color.
Garlic: A subtle kick to add complexity.
Apple Cider Vinegar: A healthy touch of tartness.
Lemon Juice: Rounds out all the flavors perfectly.
