Dress It Up Dressing Expands Nationwide
Award-winning salad dressing brand offers a gourmet alternative within store-bought category
BETHESDA, Md., May 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Dress It Up Dressing, premium dressing brand and pioneer of authentic dressings that resemble homemade, is now available at stores nationwide, including Sprouts, Fresh Market, Central Market, Raley’s, and select Whole Foods Markets, as well as numerous other natural, specialty and independent retailers.
With a product born from a mother’s recipe and a daughter’s passion, Dress It Up Dressing is pleased to announce this expansion just in time for Mother’s Day.
When Dress It Up Dressing founder, Sophia Maroon, couldn’t find a salad dressing that used healthy ingredients, she designed her own based on her mother’s classic vinaigrette. What started as a collection of dressings in mason jars for fellow preschool moms turned into a full line of products available at retailers nationwide and online.
“I never bought bottled dressing because the ingredients bore no resemblance to what I used at home,” said Sophia Maroon, founder of Dress It Up Dressing. “Store-bought dressing typically contained inflammatory oils, sugar, and all sorts of gums and starches. I wanted a dressing that used olive oil, vinegar, mustard and garlic, and had all the flavor and clean ingredients of homemade, without the sugar, preservatives or artificial ingredients. Salad is healthy and salad dressing should be too.”

My Mother’s Recipe My Brother’s Dare
Dress It Up Dressing was founded by Sophia Maroon in 2012. Sophias brother had long held that a business was waiting to be built in the salad dressing their mother made every night when they were children .
Always up for a challenge, Sophia began sharing her dressing with friends who then shared it with their friends eventually proving her brother right. She soon ran a cottage industry, delivering jars of salad dressing to neighbors in recycled clementine boxes she picked up at Whole Foods each week.
One day, a Whole Foods employee asked her what she did with all the boxes. When she told him, he said, well, if you make salad dressing, why havent you shared it with us? So she did. The reaction: we dont sell anything like this, and we should!
A few samples were all it took to convince the Whole Foods buying team to put Dress It Up Dressing on the shelves of its Friendship Heights location. And within three months, it was in 14 stores.
Today, Dress It Up Dressing a line of six olive oil-based salad dressings made with simple ingredients and an impeccable attention to detail is available at retailers nationwide and online, gracing the plates of thousands of loyal customers across the country. The products have garnered prestigious honors in the food industry, including accolades from the Good Food Foundation and Specialty Food Association, all while the business maintains an unwavering commitment to sustainability and social responsibility.

Homemade Ranch Dressing From Scratch
Well start the series with one of my favorite dressings. Tahini salad dressing. Tahini if you are not familiar with it is a paste made from ground sesame seeds. Its extremely versatile and can be used in cooking sweet and savory dishes. The best part about it is that its packed with essential vitamins and minerals!
This tahini dressing is super creamy and tangy. It works as a dip or a salad dressing. I usually use it to make a tahini salad which is very popular here in the middle east. A tahini salad is simply some chopped tomatoes, chopped parsley and this amazing tahini dressing. Simple, I know. But packed with refreshing flavors. You can also use it to top your favorite greens or add some grilled eggplants to it and then turn it into baba ghanouj.

Sophia Maroon founded Dress It Up Dressing in 2012 as a way to upgrade what was on offer in the salad dressing aisle. With that one act of throwing dressing on some veggies, she wanted people to feel like they prepared a gourmet meal, even if it took less than 30 seconds. To that end, her dressings are carefully crafted from a few simple ingredients that are beneficial and healthy.
Early on, Sophia made a commitment to produce Dress It Up Dressing responsibly and sustainably. That means sourcing ingredients locally whenever possible, seeking out small micro-producers, minimizing travel times, shortening the food chain and reducing the companyâs impact on the environment. It also means practicing corporate responsibility, providing opportunities for people in the community and choosing vendors who do the same.
Salad Dressing Is For More Than Just Leafy Salads
Use this dressing for any salad leafy greens, garden salads, chopped salads. It makes enough to serve 4.
Its also terrific used to make otherwise bland steamed or boiled vegetables tastier. Toss while hot and they will suck up the flavour! Same goes for roasted vegetables.
