Wish-Bone is an American brand of salad dressing, marinades, dips and pasta salad.[1] The original salad dressing was based on a recipe served at the Wishbone restaurant in Kansas City, Missouri, founded by ex-soldier Phillip Sollomi in 1945 along with Lena Sollomi, Phillip's mother.[2] The Italian dressing served at the Wishbone was based on a recipe from Lena Sollomi's Sicilian family which was a blend of oil, vinegar, herbs and spices.[2] Demand for the salad dressing proved so high that Phillip started a separate operation to produce it for sale, making it by the barrel.[2] The brand was acquired by Lipton, part of the Unilever portfolio, in 1958, and was manufactured in the Kansas City area.[3] In 2013, Pinnacle Foods acquired Wish-Bone from Unilever. In turn, ConAgra acquired Pinnacle Foods on October 26, 2018.[4]
