When my Great Aunt and Uncle settled the Little Creek property in 1947, the land was dotted with Nordic pines and aromatic apricot trees. Some of those trees still bear fruit today! This dressing captures that fragrant mix of sweet and spice, blending ripe apricots with earthy undercurrents of sesame and soy, finished with a zesty hint of ginger. Enjoy it as a salad dressing, over noodle dishes, tossed into stir-fries, or use as a light marinade to accompany the rich flavours of the barbeque.

About Little Creek

In 1995, Donna Denison bottled the first batch of Little Creek Dressing on her family farm – Little Creek Gardens. More than two decades later, the dressing is still made with care in small batches.

The Little Creek property has been in the Denison family since 1947. Donna, her husband Dale, and son Jubi moved to the land in 1984 to farm organic vegetables. Ten years later, looking for a way to work from home while she raised her twin daughters, Donna decided to try bottling the salad dressing she had always served with the organic greens from the farm.
Donna developed each dressing recipe using high-quality, organic ingredients paired with handcrafted vinegars to create unique, artisan flavours. As well, all the dressings are vegan, GMO-free, and produced using renewably-sourced energy.

At first, Donna made the famous Okanagan’s Original Vinaigrette using raspberries, basil, and garlic that grew on the farm. When production got too big, Little Creek bought ingredients from other farmers. The business kept growing, and in 2014, production moved off the farm and into the Little Creek facility in Kelowna. In 2016, Jubi became the company’s Executive Director, continuing the family legacy.

Today, Little Creek Dressing is made in small, well-tended batches, and the company remains true to its founding values: creating wholesome, flavourful foods that support healthy eating, healthy living, and a healthy planet.
