The extensive salad portfolio of Charlotte, N.C.-based Dole Food Co. continues to grow, with more additions coming this summer and others scheduled for later in the year.

“While we were able to launch a number of new packaged salad lines and line extensions last year during the pandemic, thanks to the efforts of employees at Dole and throughout the industry, we also pushed some products to this year, making 2021 another busy year for Dole Salads product introductions,” said Bil Goldfield, director of corporate communications.

July will be the debut of the Dole Buffalo Ranch Chopped Salad and the Dole Peppercorn Ranch Chopped Salad. The buffalo ranch option includes green cabbage, green leaf lettuce, kale, red cabbage, carrots, blue cheese crumbles, fried onions and buffalo ranch dressing, while the peppercorn ranch option contains iceberg, green leaf lettuce, red cabbage, carrots, radishes, crumbled cornbread croutons, crushed black peppercorn and peppercorn ranch dressing.

Additions to Dole’s FreshTakes salad line, and new packaged salad lines, will be announced later.
