Mintel found that vinaigrette-style
dressings are particularly appealing
to restaurant operators because they
offer the sweet and spicy flavour
profiles consumers like.
The most popular flavour nuances in vinaigrettes
these days are garlic, honey, Parmesan
cheese, lemon and raspberry.
Some of the more unusual ones which turned
up in the Mintel survey were tarragon
mustard,andouille sausage, mandarin
orange and endive/bacon.
“Honey is becoming the big new
flavour carrier for vinaigrette dressings,
a result of honey becomingmore
mainstream as an ingredient,” says
Amanda Archibald, a restaurant menu
analyst with Mintel.“It fits in well with a
lot of different flavour profiles, including
Asian, Southwest and Mexican.”
