Not On The Side Organic Gourmet Dressings

Not on the side. Where it belongs.

We believe food should nourish, energise, and bring people together — not feel rushed, processed, or like an afterthought.

a bottle of NOTS Salad Dressing

NOTS is a range of premium, no added oil gourmet dressings made with fresh, plant-based ingredients. Created for people who care deeply about how they eat, but don’t always have the time to make everything from scratch.
This isn’t dressing that sits politely on the side of the plate.

It’s meant to be drizzled generously, enjoyed freely, and used creatively.

Where Every Drizzle of Our Dressing Tells a Story of Freshness and Delight!

Every bottle of our organic dressing carries a story of heritage, care, and thoughtful ingredients. Our barberries and saffron trace their origins to Persia, where these vibrant flavours have long been celebrated in traditional cooking. Macadamia nuts, native to Australia, bring a naturally rich and nourishing texture.

Today, more people are returning to simple pleasures — growing herbs, vegetables, and salad leaves in their gardens and allotments, reconnecting with the food they eat. Our dressings are created to complement that spirit of fresh, honest produce.

For those who grow their own, and for those who simply share the same vision of healthier living, we offer dressings made with a mother’s care — inspired by our Persian heritage and a deep respect for life, nourishment, and the joy of good food shared together.

Our Flavours

Each gourmet salad dressing has a distinct character and story:
a Not On The Side gourmet Ranch Dressing label

Ranch (Macadamia)

Creamy and comforting, made with macadamia nuts for a naturallysmooth texture and rich flavour. Macadamias are packed with heart-healthy fats, vitamin E, and antioxidants — making this a nourishing twist on a familiar favourite.

a Not On The Side gourmet Barberry Dressing label

Barberry

Inspired by Persian cuisine, barberries were once known as the“rubies of the table.” Tangy, vibrant, and deeply flavourful, this dressing celebrates a berry long associated with luxury, digestion, and blood sugar balance.

a Not On The Side gourmet Saffron and Sunflower Seed Dressing label

Saffron & Sunflower Seed

Golden, warm, and subtly floral. Saffron — one of the world’s most precious spices — pairs with sunflower seeds rich in vitamin E and plant-based protein, creating a dressing that feels both grounding and uplifting.

NOTS is for people who:

Care about what they eat
Want to feel energised, not weighed down
Appreciate flavour, culture, and craftsmanship
Believe small daily choices shape long-term health

NOTS Organic Gourmet Dressing

Creating Fresh and Flavourful Dressings with Passion

Across Iran, food reflects the landscape and traditions of its people. From the lush northern regions near the Caspian Sea, known for fresh herbs and seafood, to the eastern provinces where some of the country’s most treasured ingredients are cultivated, every region contributes to the richness of Persian cuisine.

These ingredients, along with fresh herbs, grains, and fruits, form the heart of Persian cooking. Inspired by these ingredients and the deep respect Persian culture holds for food, we bring that same passion into our dressings: fresh flavours, thoughtful preparation, and a love of food that celebrates both health and heritage.
