Sokol Custom Food Ingredients teamed up with [Sunkist Growers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunkist-growers-packaging) to create a line of Sunkist branded sauces and dressings that celebrate citrus. There are eight new sauces and dressings that will be on their way to retail shelves, including bright and zesty options like Lemon Pepper Caesar, Mimosa, Spicy Mango Habanero and Blueberry Chipotle. Each of these flavors was crafted to "[celebrate] citrus and [honor] the integrity of the Sunkist brand," and deliver the experience that consumers have come to rely on from Sokol.

Paul Noble, chief commercial officer at Sokol, says “We know consumers are yearning for [new and interesting products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flavorful-condiment) to easily integrate into their at-home meals and we look forward to being a part of dinner tables around the country." These sauces and dressings promise to enhance salads, sides and much more.
