If you have known me for very long, you will learn one thing rather quickly ...I am easily amused. I get giddy at new tech toys, I am thrilled with a grocery store bouquet and good packaging? Well, I adore it. I am all about the packaging.
I recently fell upon a great rather new product from Fresh Express, the salad folks. Fresh Express, is owned by Chiquita (you know, the banana people), and they offer tons of different packaged salad greens and blends in the produce section of your local markets.
The newest product from these "salad, banana people", is a nice little offering, Gourmet Cafe.
If you like me live on greens with a few mix ins than this may be the find for you.
The packaging is outstanding! Each offering is packaged in one plastic container to mix your salad and one with the toppings, simply shake and toss. Easy. My favorite? The salad kit includes a fun wooden fork or chop stick thing ...makes the whole salad tastes better, when it is cute, dontcha think?
My fav of the day is The Chicken Caesar with Crostini, but other offerings include Caribbean Chicken, and the Waldorf Chicken. These lil' guys are packaged with two servings in mind at a calorie count of 150 per, but the fat count here is 100 calories or two-thirds fat ...So skip on some of the dressing and forgo the cheese and it is a good choice for lunch.
I am not saying this beats a great salad you can toss together at home. It does not! But, if you are short on time and need a bite to take and run, consider this alternative. My local store prices these out at about five dollars each, you may find a better salad choice at a local charcuterie or deli. It is cute and tasty too!...enjoy
