Westport, CT - The food company that started out as a joke and got out of control is expanding with an array of new all-natural products to meet consumer demands for full-flavored, "better-for-you" alternatives, organic options, meal solutions, and snack portion control.

Newman's Own® popular lemonade and salsa are now available in organic versions. Several of Newman's Own new products also tap into the popular southwestern cuisine trend, with lime and cilantro as featured ingredients."Yet another crop of concoctions unleashed on the unsuspecting public.

If variety is indeed the spice of life, we might be onto something here - even marinades to dress up dinner. But how did I ever agree to these get-ups they've got me in on the labels?" said Newman's Own founder and owner Paul Newman.New Lighten Up!® Salad Dressing FlavorsResponding to consumer requests for additional varieties of fruit vinaigrettes, Newman's Own® has added two new flavors to its best-selling line of reduced-calorie dressings:

• Bask in the Limelight with Lighten Up!® Lime Vinaigrette, made with lime juice concentrate and honey for a light and refreshing dressing that's perfect for summer salads.

• Lighten Up!® Cranberry Walnut Vinaigrette combines the healthy zest of cranberries with a nutty flavor that is so great, we can't believe we didn't come up with it sooner! [Both flavors available nationally; avg. retail price $3.69, 16 oz.]

Sweet Onion Pasta Sauce - It Brings Tears of JoyOur new Sweet Onion and Garlic pasta sauce is made with diced tomatoes, onions, garlic, and Cabernet wine. Delicious! Newman's Own® pasta sauces work great on top of pasta or as a meal solution with fish or poultry. [Available nationally; avg. retail price $2.79, 24 oz.]

Dress Up Dinner with Newman's Own® New MarinadesFire up the grill! Newman's Own® new marinades prove that great tasting marinades don't have to be loaded with sodium.

Try them all: Lemon Pepper, Mesquite Lime, Herb Roasted Garlic, and Teriyaki. [These products are currently available in the North East, South, and West Coast; avg. retail price $3.19, 12.25 oz.]

Lighten Up!® Cranberry Walnut Vinaigrette is my favorite salad dressing--but I can't find it anymore in Newton, NJ (Sussex County). If you know who has it, please post. Thanks!
