While we know you know how to create the dishes that will have diners
coming back for more, we want to take some of the work out of creating
tasty, fun and flavoursome food by providing that perfect finishing
touch.
Our premium products have been crafted to meet the latest
trends and bring together flavours from around the world, with our Lion
sauces, dressings and mayos the perfect way to bring some fresh, sunny
zing to whatever you have on your summer menu.
Whatever trends you’re focusing on this summer season, we’re going to
show you how simple it is to elevate your dishes and meet trends with
Lion Sauces.
This season there are a few important ones you should be aware of - including ‘easy eating’, ‘tasty veg’ and ‘occasion dining’.
Easy eating is all about giving casual foods luxe touches to wow your customers. One way to achieve this is through finger food and handheld options – which leave your diners better able to chat and catch up over food – and bringing them up to the next level with Lion.
This could include skewered dishes like Piri Piri Chicken Kebabs or Korean Tofu and Vegetable Skewers, or tasty handheld wraps like our Korean BBQ Tuna & Freekeh Wraps.
On-trend Mexican inspired Steak Tostada is a fun alternative to a steak sandwich, and burgers are always a summertime favourite, like our delicious vegan Smothered Maple and Bourbon BBQ Pulled Jackfruit Burger.
Gorgeous grilled proteins can be taken to the next level with the addition of a hot sauce like our Very Hot Chilli Sauce, a tasty BBQ choice like Sticky BBQ Sauce, or inspired by world flavours like our Korean BBQ Sauce.
The tasty veg trend is all about taking the humble vegetable to the next level – whether that’s a stunning salad or a tasty side. Also big this summer are Buddha bowls and superfoods! Some great recipes for this trend include the Green Lioness Bowl, inspired by the viral green goddess salad, the Lioness Buddha Bowl, packed with protein and veg, as well as our Superfood Salad – which is not only good for you, but tastes great!
Halloumi is still a great option for flexitarian diet, with our Halloumi Cous Cous Salad a real crowd pleaser, while vegetarians can also enjoy a Quinoa, Feta & Pomegranate Salad, which can be made vegan with the inclusion of a plant-based feta.
When thinking about how to get the most out of fresh, seasonal salads and vegetables think creamy, rich mayo or zingy salad dressings, and don’t forget to look after vegan diners with our range of plant-based sauces.
Sparkling side dishes can help make any summertime meal unforgettable for diners, so don’t forget to bring that extra special something by adding fresh flavours to your snacks and sides, too.
Our Spiced Crunchy Noodle Slaw brings fresh Asian flavours to give a twist to a traditional coleslaw, while our Bacon & Chicken Caesar Potato Salad gives a meaty twist to classic potato salad. Spicy potatoes are the star of the show with our patatas bravas.
