Briannas Honey Mustard Dressing made in the USA


Carmina was introducing by Briannas Honey Mustard Dressing the year 2017 when I was visiting my dad and his wife during Memorial weekend.

My dad and his wife brought me over to their close friend’s home who had cooked a meal during that time.

They had served all sort of Filipino and American dishes. 

The salad dressing they had was Briannas Honey Mustard Dressing during that time I was able to take two bottles back home to the Philippines.

Now, I don't need to purchase it when I am traveling back to the United States and bring it home to the Philippines.

Sometimes you get worried because it is made of glass bottle you don't want it to break during the packaging inside your luggage.


I was able to purchase my Briannas Honey Mustard Dressing from Shopwise Grocery Store for PHP 239.00 ($4.78) 355ml.
