Dole Fresh Vegetables introduces five new on-trend flavor varieties to its popular Dole Chopped Salad Kit product line. In addition to the breakout new flavors, the new kits feature a new package design to deepen Dole’s resonance with salad customers, especially Millennial and Gen Z salad users, designed to delight foodies and casual consumers alike with eye-catching photography and improved flavor and ingredient communication.
“This new look is a result of extensive consumer research to direct and validate the design,” said David Austin, VP Product Innovation. “The new packaging is a bolder, more contemporary stand-out design featuring a larger window to spotlight freshness, quality, and diversity of ingredients. Our strategy is to create the most unique, compelling salad kit flavor varieties in the industry, and then work with our retail partners to make it easy for salad consumers to shop and choose Dole. These new Chopped Salad Kit flavors were developed through an extensive R&D process to deliver the popular flavors salad users are seeking and to validate those flavors to ensure they meet customer expectations.”
All five new Dole Chopped Kits – Roadhouse BBQ, Chophouse Crunch, Hibachi Miso, Everything Caesar and Crunchy Taco – will be on supermarket shelves nationally. These latest Chopped Kit offerings amplify the brand’s reputation for pairing Dole lettuces and vegetables with differentiated toppings and unique dressings in new, inspired ways to encourage healthier eating to increase vegetable consumption.
