New Product Spotlight: Winter Slaw

The kids are heading back to school this week, which means that summer is almost over. The days are getting shorter, and soon the temperatures will be cooler. Swimsuits will be packed away and jackets will be pulled out of storage. Flip flops will be replaced by boots. Many of us will also change our diets, replacing fresh salads with warm savory soups and casseroles. We have come to associate salads with the fresh bounty of summer produce, but many fall fruits and vegetables also make great additions to salads and slaws.

Freshway’s Winter Slaw is a great example of a fresh salad that features fall fruits and vegetables. It is sweet, savory, smoky and crunchy – everything you want in a salad any time of year. Winter Slaw features sweet, crunchy apples and rainbow carrots with crisp, savory turnips, red cabbage and green onion. Dried cranberries add sweetness and tartness and our Sweet Onion Dressing adds a hint of smoke. This salad reminds us of sitting by the fireplace on a chilly night. The perfect accompaniment to your winter meals!

Winter Slaw makes a a delicious addition to your salad bar or deli case and a great side dish for foodservice operators. Your customers will love the colors and flavors of winter in this Freshway exclusive salad.

Winter Slaw is available through your Freshway sales representative.

Rainbow Carrot Cauliflower Salad

According to a new article from The Produce News, cauliflower and carrots are poised to become the next hot products in the culinary world. Chef Jet Tila and Chef Gary Ludwig presented on these and other trending produce items at a “What’s Hot” session at the PMA Foodservice Expo in Monterey, California. Both chefs championed vegetable-centric cuisine, where the vegetables are the star of the dish, with meat as an accompaniment or garnish.

At Freshway, we are big fans of vegetable-centric cuisine, and we are big fans of carrots and cauliflower. We feature these versatile vegetables in many of our fresh deli salad kits and grab n go salads. Carrots add color and sweetness, along with vitamin A and beta-carotene for healthy vision. Cauliflower adds texture and crunch, as well as fiber for digestive health and choline to boost brain health.

Freshway’s Rainbow Carrot Cauliflower Salad features these two superfoods, which provide a healthy dose of vitamins and minerals in addition to tasting great. This salad features sweet and crunchy rainbow carrots with savory and crisp cauliflower and red cabbage, complemented by mild green onion, creamy and mild provolone cheese and a Sweet Onion Dressing with a hint of smoke.
