“As bowl culture continues to explode across fast-casual restaurants, consumers are increasingly seeking convenient, fresh, and nutritious meals packed with flavorful, quality ingredients and proteins,” said Bobby Chacko, Chief Executive Officer. “With our new Bistro Loaded Bowls, we’re bringing bowl enthusiasts into the ready-to-eat salad aisle to enjoy a heartier, chef-crafted, topping-forward salad that doesn’t compromise on size, taste, or convenience.”

From creamy, fresh guacamole made with real Hass avocados to the briny kick of Kalamata olives, every bowl offers a unique flavor profile designed to excite the palate. Crunchy elements like seeds, nuts, and aromatic croutons add crunchy texture, while zesty dressings tie everything together.

According to a press release, the new Bonduelle Bistro Loaded Bowl lineup includes:

  • Avocado Crunch with Grilled Chicken Bowl: A crisp bed of lettuce is topped with grilled chicken, sunflower seeds, almonds, zesty lemon pepper sourdough croutons, and fresh guacamole
  • Lemon Mediterranean Style with Grilled Chicken Bowl: A duo of Mediterranean classics—rich Kalamata olives and creamy Feta cheese—are at the heart of this bowl. Crumbled croutons seasoned with an aromatic blend of cumin, coriander, and garlic falafel spice add a savory crunch alongside crisp lettuce greens, while the lemon tahini hummus-style dressing adds a bright, zesty note
  • Grilled Chicken and Guacamole Bowl: Fresh guacamole and sweet roasted corn pair with grilled chicken to create a protein-packed salad that's both satisfying and flavorful. Crispy peppers, Jalapeños, and tortilla strips add a spicy kick and satisfying crunch to every bite

Known for its Ready-Pac Bistro® salads, Bonduelle is now bringing its namesake brand into the United States for the first time with its new Bonduelle Bistro Loaded Bowls.

“Bonduelle has a long history of bringing exciting innovations to the produce aisle under the Ready Pac brand, and our Bonduelle Bistro Loaded Bowls are no exception,” Chacko added. “We’re excited to continue building on this heritage with new craveable, plant-rich offerings that delight consumers in every section of the grocery store.”

Bonduelle Bistro Loaded Bowls will be available at grocery stores nationwide starting this week. I’m sure shoppers will be adding them to their baskets in no time!
