Ready Pac Foods, a brand of Bonduelle Fresh Americas, announced the introduction of its Limited Edition Bistro® Tropical Mango Salad with Mango Cilantro Vinaigrette. The salad has already hit the shelves just in time for the remainder of National Salad Month in May and in celebration of National Mango Month coming up in June.
The company described the salad as being 'inspired by a tropical vacation', containing dried mangos, cashews, spicy chilli seasoned chicken and topped off with a tangy Mango Cilantro Vinaigrette. Resting on a bed of arugula, baby greens and shredded carrots, the Bistro® Tropical Mango Salad has 190 calories, 6 grams of protein and 9 grams of fat.
“Crafting recipes for the Limited Edition Bistro® salad line-up is so exciting because we get to explore new flavors and take advantage of seasonal ingredients,” said Bonduelle Fresh Americas Director of Marketing, Stacey Webb. “With the Bistro® Tropical Mango Salad, we wanted to push the boundaries of what could be in a ready-to-eat salad and took cues from the flavors we might see during a tropical getaway here and abroad.”
Mangos are a juicy fruit from tropical trees which belong to the cashew family, which Ready Pac says makes the two a perfect combination in this salad. Mangos originated in Southeast Asia and India, and made their way to the U.S. more than 100 years ago. Because mangos need a tropical climate to flourish, in the U.S. only Florida, California, Hawaii and Puerto Rico grow them. Mangos are the most popular fruit in the world, to the surprise of most North Americans. They are consumed worldwide by a factor of three to one over bananas and ten to one over apples.
According to Ready Pac, it is the only company to offer seasonal, limited-time-only ready-to-eat salads, having introduced its Limited Edition Bistro® salad line-up in 2016. Past Limited Edition Bistro® salads have included Pumpkin Spice, Green Goddess with Chicken & Herbed Avocado Dressing, and Roasted Beets & Baby Greens. Due to its popularity, one-time limited offering Roasted Corn with Pulled Pork & BBQ Drizzle has become a permanent offering in the Bistro® salad line.
