Help Me Helen
was
created by Helen Collins along with good friends
John and Faith Forsythe and me, Ben, her
husband. Helen is famous for her excellent
dinner parties and has always served a
fantastic homemade vinaigrette. The Forsythe
family became so taken with the salad dressing
that their family would not use any other
dressing on their salads. Faith suggested that
bottling the product for commercial sale would
allow her family and others to enjoy the
dressing on a regular basis. Believing that many
others would fall in love with her dressing,
Help Me Helen
was born. Soon Helen created a second variety,
the
Green Chile Caesar.
The Help Me
Helen
family has done all of the promotion of the
products to date. These include in store tastings and sales at local farmers markets and
wine festivals. Word of mouth, friend to friend,
family to family, has kept
Help Me Helen
growing.
Help Me
Helen
Vinaigrette
and
Green Chile Caesar
is now produced in a food production facility
but still
uses all natural quality ingredients to ensure a
fresh wonderful flavor.
The
Vinaigrette
is a traditional French style vinaigrette with a
base of red wine vinegar and Dijon mustard.
The
Green Chile Caesar
is a light, lemon and vinegar based dressing
with the unexpected twist of the spice of native
New Mexico Green Chile.
An
interesting phenomenon is that among our
families, friends and at tastings
Help Me Helen
is incredibly popular with kids. We have many
stories of little guys and gals trying our
vinaigrette and becoming faithful devotes (see
our picture of the pool salad party).
Help Me Helen
dressings also make a fabulous marinade for
seafood, chicken and meats. My favorite is
salmon marinated before grilling. Absolutely
delicious! Pour some over steamed vegetables or
over pasta. Superb!

All Natural, Naturally Wonderful!
As Helen always says, “It’s lovely!”
