Product Spotlight: Celery Crunch Salad

If we were to ask you to name the “hot” vegetables in restaurants now, you might name kale, cauliflower, root vegetables or squash. However, it is unlikely that you would think to add celery to that list. According to a new article from Nation’s Restaurant News, celery is the “hot” new vegetable showing up in trendy kitchens across the U.S.

At Freshway, we are big fans of this under-appreciated vegetable. We have been processing celery for over 27 years!

We recently introduced a new salad kit with celery as the star: Celery Crunch Salad. Mild in flavor, crunchy and juicy, celery is the perfect base to this refreshing salad. We add savory red onions, sweet red peppers and hearty walnuts, and a sweet onion vinaigrette which adds a mild smoky flavor to the salad. Celery Crunch Salad offers the perfect balance of sweet and savory.

The Colors of Christmas Grab N Go salad introduces consumers to an exciting new produce item: colorful and flavorful watermelon radish. Watermelon radish is an heirloom variety of Chinese Daikon radish. It is tender crisp, with a sweet, slightly spicy flavor.

In addition to watermelon radish, the Colors of Christmas salad features a mildly sweet base of spinach which imparts a nutty note and textural complexity. Topping the spinach base are golden raisins, which provide a pop of sweetness and offer a nice counterpoint to the watermelon radish. Cauliflower rounds out the salad and provides a subtle nutty sweetness and crunch.

The Colors of Christmas salad was inspired by the classic colors associated with Christmas – green, red, gold and white. It is appealing to the eye and pleasing to the palate. The Colors of Christmas Grab N Go salad pairs well with Balsamic vinaigrette or creamy dill dressings.
