Fresh Express Debuts Four New Chopped Salad Kits; Fabian Pereira Details

ORLANDO, FL - Shaking up the salad sector even more, Fresh Express is continuing its innovation streak with four new Chopped Salad Kits, leaning into high-demand flavors from mango to mushroom and beyond. These globally inspired, chef-crafted combinations are designed to bring more depth, texture, and unexpected flavor to the supplier’s lineup of Chopped Salad Kits.

“With our new Fresh Express Chopped Kits, we focused on layering flavor and texture in a way that feels unexpected and satisfying,” shared Fabian Pereira, Vice President of Marketing and Innovation at Fresh Express. “From rich, savory twists on classics like the Creamy Mushroom Caesar to island inspiration like Tropical Mango Crunch, each kit brings something distinct to the table and gives shoppers more reasons to rethink what a salad can be. We are continuing to push the category forward with chef-inspired flavors that make everyday meals feel more special.”

Landing on store shelves on March 16, Fresh Express’ new Chopped Salad Kit SKUs lean into globally inspired ingredients and more elevated dressing profiles that feel closer to restaurant flavors than traditional salad kits.

The mouthwatering new flavors include:

• Creamy Mushroom Caesar – A richer, more indulgent spin on Caesar, layering crisp romaine with shaved Parmesan, garlic croutons, and cracked black pepper, all coated in a savory, mushroom-forward Caesar dressing that adds unexpected umami depth
• Tropical Mango Crunch – A sweet-meets-savory flavor bomb: a vibrant tropical mango vinaigrette over Romaine, red cabbage, and carrots, finished with crunchy plantain chips and roasted cashews for bold texture in every bite
• Zesty Hawaiian Crunch – An island-inspired blend of leafy greens, cabbage, carrots, dried pineapple, and buttery macadamia nuts, tossed in a sweet Hawaiian-style dressing with a subtle kick
• Italian Herb & Parmesan – A classic Italian flavor profile turned up a notch with focaccia croutons, shaved Parmesan, and a bold, herb-packed dressing over crispy iceberg, green leaf lettuce, red cabbage, and carrots
