New ready-to-use salad mix hitting North American markets this month
Markon Cooperative’s new pre-cut, ready-to-use proprietary salad mix will be available in mid-July through the company’s member-distributors in the U.S. and Canada.
Ready-Set-Serve Harvest Crisp Blend was developed at the Markon’s Chef Summit, an annual event that brings together member and foodservice customer chefs from the Salinas Valley community, according to a news release. The blend consists of kale leaves mixed with shredded broccoli, carrots and radishes.
The product can be served raw or cooked and provides an ideal bowl or salad base, according to the release.
The blend, backed by Markon’s 5-Star Food Safety Program and GMO-free, is shipped in a four/one-pound pack size.
“Our new Harvest Crisp Blend is the perfect balance of color and crunch,” Markon CEO Andy Hamilton said in the release. “We strive to bring innovation to our membership and their customers that helps create new ways to bring Markon to the menu and create produce solutions for the foodservice industry. This unique ingredient makes a great option for a wide variety of recipes ranging from smoothies and burgers to upscale salads.”
The Harvest Crisp Blend, available year-round, will be featured during the IFPA Foodservice Show in Monterey, California on July 28.
