Salads have become a go-to meal. But even the freshest ingredients can fall flat without a dressing that brings it all to life. In many cases, it’s the dressing that makes people come back for more.

In this report, we take a closer look at what’s shaping taste. Familiar flavours like creamy and Nordic-inspired profiles are making a return, now with a modern twist. At the same time, bold and surprising combinations are gaining ground, often inspired by social media.

Health is still a big driver, but the definition is changing. Gut health is a strong focus, with fermented ingredients becoming more popular. But people also care about natural ingredients, fibres, balance and how a meal makes them feel afterwards.

Dressings have the power to support both taste and health. They can carry bold flavours, health supporting ingredients, and elevate a simple salad into a complete experience.

At Solina, we track these trends closely and work with food producers to turn trends into real products. This report gives you a clear overview of where the market is going and inspiration you can actually use in your product development.
