Indoor lettuce grower adds chicken to its salad kit lineup

Innovating its category offerings, Local Bounti has expanded its grab-and-go salad kit line to include premium, antibiotic-free white meat chicken in two new recipes.

Beginning in June, consumers in the Pacific Northwest will be able to find Local Bounti's Artisanal Chicken Caesar and Memphis Style BBQ Chicken salad kits in the produce department of select grocery stores, according to a news release. 

Local Bounti's grab-and-go salad kit line features chef-inspired salads that are ready to eat, providing consumers with a convenient, healthy and delicious meal option, the release said.

"Our grab-and-go salad kit line has been well received by consumers, and we are thrilled to be expanding the line with the addition of two new varieties that feature premium, antibiotic-free white meat chicken," Local Bounti President Brian Cook said in the release.

The Artisanal Chicken Caesar Salad includes greenhouse-grown romaine lettuce, antibiotic-free white meat chicken, parmesan cheese and savory croutons, topped with creamy Romano Caesar dressing.

Local Bounti's new Memphis Style BBQ Chicken Salad includes greenhouse-grown romaine lettuce, hickory-seasoned and antibiotic-free white meat chicken, corn and black bean salsa, tangy pickled red onions, crispy fried onions, pepper jack cheese and BBQ Ranch dressing.
