Family Size Dressings: Driving Category Growth with New Flavors
Value-size is a fast-growing RSD segment and Litehouse 20 oz Family Size Dressing & Dip is a category growth driver – the brand’s 20 oz Homestyle Ranch Dressing is the No. 1 best-selling product in the entire RSD category 2. Consumers love the convenient and easy-to-use squeeze bottle, as well as the broad variety of flavors, including Jalapeno Ranch, Chunky Blue Cheese, Thousand Island and the two newest 20 oz flavor extensions, Garlic Ranch and Caesar, one of the fastest growing salad dressing flavors in the RSD category.
Litehouse Garlic Ranch has a delicious creamy ranch flavor with a bold garlic twist that’s great on salads, wraps, sandwiches, burgers, and as a dip for chips, veggies, pizza, wings and more.

Its popularity in the 13 oz size made it a perfect addition to the family size format.
