"Our dressings bring versatile flavors to the table making them perfect for marinating chicken, drizzling on tacos or whipping up a pasta salad," said Chick-fil-A Chef Christy Cook. "We love seeing the culinary creations our customers already make with their favorite Chick-fil-A dressings, like Creamy Salsa Waffle Fries."

Customers have been using the dressings as marinades for years, and for the first time, BRIANNAS is expanding its offerings to include a line of robustly flavored marinades created to make better tasting meals and enhance mealtime.

>Chick-fil-A's most popular salad dressings are now available in four varieties.

The introduction of Pickle Flavored Ranch is the latest example of the brand's commitment to deliver bold new flavors for dipping occasions.

According to Innova’s 2022 Flavor Survey, 39% of Americans said they are most likely to experiment with flavors through sauces, seasonings, and toppings. These categories rank ahead of others such as bakery, soup, desserts and ice cream, cheese, savory snacks, and more.

Garlic Vinaigrette is a sweet and savory blend of garlic, oil, and cracked black pepper. It pairs with green salads or pasta salads, and it doubles as a marinade for meats and vegetables.

The new flavors join the growing line of Litehouse Family Size Dressings & Dips, which includes Homestyle Ranch, Jalapeno Ranch, Chunky Blue Cheese, Thousand Island and more. 

With each “better for you” flavor containing just 50 calories or less per serving, these dressings empower consumers to explore their culinary creativity through the versatility of the line, “dressing up” their plates as the ultimate dips, spreads, salad toppings and more.

Just as there are so many ingredients combined in a good sauce, there are many factors that combine to impact new product development in sauces, dressings and spreads. And this is true—seemingly for better and for worse.
