We’re A Little Bit Excited to announce the launch of our brand-new Vegan Caesar dressing!
The new addition to our versatile range arrives ahead of the summer months, just in time to bring your Caesar salad and BBQs to the next level!
The new dressing is rich, creamy and entirely vegan-friendly and a timeless addition to the A Little Bit range. Much like the other dressings, this new delight is made using the finest ingredients, including local Kentish Cold-Pressed rapeseed oil and, of course, ‘A Little Bit’ of fresh oregano for that herby hit.
Perfect for enhancing your classic Caesar salad, as an alternative sandwich condiment or for marinating your meat, fish or alternatives this summer - this sauce has a great texture and delicious flavour without all the nasties - one the entire family will love!
As with the entirety of the A Little Bit range, our Caesar Dressing is packed full of goodness, is 100% free of preservatives, colourings and additives, is proudly gluten-free, and is vegan friendly. Every bit of passion and love has gone into creating this new flavour and every single bottle and bottle to follow. It’s a condiment that tastes like home, with all the convenience of being ready to use. Everyone’s going to love this one - we promise!
Shop our new Vegan Caesar and the rest of the A Little Bit range via the shop on our website.
