Hagens Dressing is delightful as a bread dip and is the base of our famous Greek salad. Try it as a marinade for vegetables, chicken, beef and seafood before cooking.
Like many of our repeat customers, you will soon discover how fresh, versatile and satisfying Hagens can be.
HAGENS OWN GREEK SALAD
Ingredients:
diced cucumber
diced tomato
diced green pepper
diced red pepper
diced red onions
kalamata olives
crumbled feta cheese
Greek seasoning (optional)
Hagens dressing (a must)
Comments:
The above ingredients are the ones we enjoy. Amounts should depend entirely on personal tastes and the size of party. Toss all ingredients together in the Hagens dressing about 1 hour before dinner, refrigerate and toss again just before serving. Should you be fortunate enough to have leftovers, cover and refrigerate…it might even be better the next day.

Recipe suggested by Ed in Kelowna, British Columbia.
HAGENS ASPARAGUS AND PARMESAN
Directions:
Cut the bottom stalks off the asparagus after washing and let them sit on a towel to dry as there's nothing worse than soggy asparagus.
Microwave the asparagus for 2-3 minutes in a wide dish. Remove from microwave and pour enough Hagens Dressing to gently cover the asparagus. Let the dressing soak in overnight to let the flavour permeate into the asparagus.
Serve cold, or reheat in the microwave, or a very hot oven, but be careful not to overcook. When serving hot, sprinkle grated parmesan cheese on top.

HAGENS LEMON CHICKEN
Ingredients:
fresh chicken breasts (thaw if frozensalt and pepper
Hagens Dressing
rhind and juice of one lemon
Directions:
Season both sides of chicken breasts with fresh ground salt and pepper. In a shallow dish arrange chicken breasts and pour Hagens Dressing over them. (I use 1/3to ½ bottle for a 9" x 13" dish. Sprinkle the zest of one lemon on top of the chicken and squeeze the juice of the lemon over as well.
Bake covered at 350 °F (175 °C for about ½ hour. Uncover, baste tops of chicken with the juices, increase heat and continue baking till slightly browned. The Hagens keeps the chicken moist and shouldn’t dry out. Would work well in individual foil packs either in the oven or on the barbeque as well.
Chopped fresh chives or green onions are a perfect ‘topper’ or garnish.

HAGENS LEG OF LAMB
Ingredients:
1 deboned leg of lamb
crushed garlic
salt and pepper

Directions:
Put the leg of lamb in a casserole dish and rub the crushed garlic in its
deboned cavity. Salt and pepper to taste. Add lemon pepper and more crushed garlic rubbed all over the surface
of the leg of lamb. Then add a half a bottle
of Hagens.
Roast in casserole for 1 to 2 hours at 180 °C (356
°F.
Add peeled potatoes to the casserole and roast for another half an hour.
