Convenience, plant-based nutrition, and restaurant-inspired international flavors are driving food innovations, and chopped salads kits are well positioned to drive growth for the value-added salad.

As consumer demand remains strong for convenient, healthy, and high-end restaurant-quality meals at home, Fresh Express® announced three new offerings in its line of best-selling chopped salad kits: Twisted Caesar Lemon Caesar, Twisted Caesar Pesto Caesar and Mexican Style, and its newest crunchy blend, Butter Supreme.

The line is committed to building a better future by providing better choices for everyday produce; its compostable, plant-based bags will break down into the earth's soil over time, contributing to farming's regenerative cycle and providing a solution to the current plastic crisis.

Two mission-aligned brands are introducing a fresh idea for the produce aisle: salad kits featuring sustainably farmed greens paired with creamy, plant-based hummus, guacamole and whole grains.

Prepared Foods profiles new packaged vegetable offerings including those with rice, beans, Brussel sprouts, lettuces and more.
