Meet the Maker: Sophia Maroon
Sophia Maroon founded Dress It Up Dressing in 2012 as a way to upgrade what was on offer in the salad dressing aisle. With that one act of throwing dressing on some veggies, she wanted people to feel like they prepared a gourmet meal, even if it took less than 30 seconds. To that end, her dressings are carefully crafted from a few simple ingredients that are beneficial and healthy.
Early on, Sophia made a commitment to produce Dress It Up Dressing responsibly and sustainably. That means sourcing ingredients locally whenever possible, seeking out small micro-producers, minimizing travel times, shortening the food chain and reducing the company’s impact on the environment. It also means practicing corporate responsibility, providing opportunities for people in the community and choosing vendors who do the same.
