At Piggly Wiggly Birmingham, supporting local means celebrating the people and products that make our community special. Our Local Spotlight series gives Birmingham-area shoppers a closer look at local businesses and Alabama-made products worth adding to the grocery list.
This week, we’re shining the spotlight on Trapezi Foods, a Birmingham-based, mother-and-son-owned company offering premium salad dressings and marinades designed to make everyday meals more flavorful.
From a fresh Greek salad to marinated grilled chicken, Trapezi Foods makes it easy to bring big flavor to the table—and support a local Birmingham business at the same time.
Meet Trapezi Foods: Local Flavor from Birmingham, Alabama
Trapezi Foods is a family business with roots right here in Birmingham. Built around a family recipe, the company creates premium dressings that can serve double duty as both salad dressings and marinades.
That versatility makes Trapezi a great addition to the refrigerator. A bottle can dress a quick lunchtime salad, become a marinade for dinner, or add extra flavor to fresh vegetables and other family favorites.
It’s also the kind of local product Piggly Wiggly Birmingham is proud to feature. When shoppers choose products from local businesses, they’re helping support the entrepreneurs and makers who contribute to our community and Alabama’s growing food scene.
Discover the Trapezi Foods Dressing & Marinade Flavors
Whether you prefer something savory, bright and citrusy, or rich and tangy, there’s a Trapezi flavor for the occasion. Look for these 8-ounce dressings and marinades:
- Greek – A classic Mediterranean-inspired dressing with a bright, savory flavor. It’s a natural match for Greek salads and also makes a delicious marinade for grilled chicken and vegetables.
- Honey Lemon – Sweet and tangy with refreshing citrus notes. Try it with mixed greens, use it to marinate chicken, or drizzle it over grilled or roasted vegetables.
- Balsamic Vinaigrette – Rich and savory with the familiar sweet-and-tangy character of balsamic vinegar. It’s delicious on salads, tomatoes and fresh mozzarella, grilled vegetables, and meats.
With three versatile varieties, you don’t have to stop at just one. Keep a couple of flavors on hand and you’ll have an easy way to change up salads, marinades, and weeknight dinners.
More Than a Salad Dressing
While each Trapezi variety can make a fresh bowl of greens even better, these bottles aren’t limited to the salad bowl.
Use Trapezi Greek as a marinade before grilling chicken. Toss roasted vegetables with Honey Lemon for a sweet and tangy finish. Or drizzle Balsamic Vinaigrette over tomatoes and fresh mozzarella for a simple side dish.
Having a flavorful dressing and marinade ready to go can also make meal planning easier. Pair it with fresh produce, chicken, cheese, pita, and other staples from your neighborhood Piggly Wiggly Birmingham, and you’re well on your way to dinner.
Need a little inspiration? Here’s one simple way to put a bottle of Trapezi Greek to work.
Try It at Home: Trapezi Greek Marinated Chicken
Turn Trapezi Foods Greek Dressing & Marinade into the centerpiece of an easy Mediterranean-inspired meal. This Greek marinated chicken pairs juicy grilled chicken with fresh vegetables, feta, olives, and warm pita for a colorful dinner that’s perfect for the family.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- ½ cup Trapezi Foods Greek Dressing & Marinade
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cucumber, chopped
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- Kalamata olives, optional
- Fresh parsley or oregano for garnish, optional
- Warm pita bread for serving, optional
Directions
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or covered container. Add the Trapezi Greek Dressing & Marinade, making sure the chicken is evenly coated, and refrigerate while it marinates.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the used marinade. Grill or cook the chicken until the thickest portion reaches a safe internal temperature of 165°F.
- While the chicken cooks, combine the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, feta, and Kalamata olives.
- Allow the cooked chicken to rest briefly before slicing. Serve alongside the fresh Greek-style salad.
- If you’d like a little more flavor, drizzle the salad with fresh Trapezi Greek Dressing from the bottle. Never reuse dressing that has been in contact with raw chicken.
- Finish with fresh parsley or oregano and serve with warm pita bread for a simple Mediterranean-inspired meal.
