Dole is debuting chopped salad kits and blends with such ingredients as kale, sweet carrots, cheddar tortilla chips and Applewood smoked bacon.
Chopped salad kit varieties include chipotle and cheddar, bacon and bleu cheese and barbecue ranch. The chopped blends are available in Asian and summer garden varieties.
“While kale continues to surge in popularity, we included it in our new chopped salads for reasons that go beyond current trends,” said Markus Eriksson, senior brand manager of product development at Dole Fresh Vegetables. “Kale was used as a flavor enhancer, to optimize the taste profile and to add specific color and health benefits. It is one of the primary product attributes, along with all-natural ingredients, that distinguishes Dole’s chopped salads line.”
The salads will be available nationwide beginning in mid-September.
