Fresh Express Expands Its Chopped Salad Line with Bold New Global Flavors

Fresh Express Introduces Exciting New Chopped Salad Kits

Fresh Express®, renowned for its ready-to-eat salads, is excited to unveil a new line of Chopped Salad Kits that promises to bring global flavors directly to your table. Starting March 16, these kits are designed to offer not just convenience, but also a unique culinary experience with bold, unexpected flavors. Featuring combinations inspired by trending restaurant menu items and ethnic ingredients, each kit seeks to elevate the everyday salad to something extraordinary.

The new offerings are:

1. Creamy Mushroom Caesar: This salad is a more indulgent twist on the beloved classic Caesar. It consists of crisp romaine lettuce, topped with shaved parmesan and garlic croutons, all enhanced by a savory, mushroom-forward Caesar dressing that introduces a rich umami depth.

2. Tropical Mango Crunch: This kit combines sweet and savory elements, featuring romaine, red cabbage, and carrots tossed in a vibrant mango vinaigrette. It’s completed with crunchy plantain chips and roasted cashews, adding exciting textures to each bite.

3. Zesty Hawaiian Crunch: Reflecting island-inspired flavors, this salad blends leafy greens with cabbage and carrots, complemented by dried pineapple and buttery macadamia nuts. The dressing is a sweet Hawaiian style with a slight kick, perfect for those ready to escape to a tropical paradise.

4. Italian Herb Parmesan: A classic Italian mix elevated by focaccia croutons and shaved parmesan, this salad is drizzled with an herb-packed dressing over a bed of crisp iceberg and leafy greens, red cabbage, and carrots, providing a bright and satisfying crunch.

Fabian Pereira, Fresh Express’ Vice President of Marketing and Innovation, emphasized, “At Fresh Express, we're not just keeping up with flavor trends; we're integrating them into the salad sector. Modern consumers seek more from meal solutions, and these new Chopped Kits deliver dynamic textures and elevated flavors, making it simple to enjoy something unique at home.”

In conjunction with the launch, Fresh Express is also promoting the “Switch Up the Flavor!” Sweepstakes from March 16 to March 31. Fans can share photos of their salad creations, tagging @YourFreshExpressSalad and using the hashtag #SwitchUpTheFlavor for a chance to win one of ten Fresh Express Flavor Boxes filled with various Chopped Kit flavors and additional fun prizes.
