SAINT-RÉMI, Québec — Saladexpress is proud to introduce its new brand Florette® in grocery stores with the launch of three new, ready-to-eat side salads as well as delicious fettuccine-inspired veggie strips. You can find them in the produce section of IGA, Metro, Super C and Provigo grocery stores and at Walmart. Florette’s attractive and colourful packaging showcases the products’ freshness, simplicity and good taste. Florette ready-to-eat salads and vegetables offer a healthy and delicious way to spruce up your meals while reducing prep time.
“Our field studies have unanimously shown that consumers not only lack the time and energy to cook, but struggle to include fresh ingredients and think of new ways to incorporate vegetables into their diet,” explains Martine Leduc, Marketing Manager for the Florette brand. “Florette ready-to-use salads and vegetables offer valuable assistance with daily mealtime challenges, and in addition to helping you achieve a healthy, balanced diet, they taste great and are easy to use. You can now find Florette products, such as the new salads and veggie fettuccines, in grocery stores. All products from Saladexpress including the popular fresh, ready-to-cook mixed vegetables and mature spinach are becoming a part of the Florette brand.”
Maintaining a sustainable relationship with local producers is at the core of the brand’s mission. Florette products are part of a responsible and local agricultural approach and are proudly prepared in Québec in a newly modernized factory.
Side salads to simplify meal time
To help Quebecers get their daily vitamins while brightening up their plates, Florette is offering three new mixed ready-to-eat vegetable salads: Berry Beets, Country Dijon and Salsa Ranch. Florette side salads facilitate meal prep and are a practical and tasty way to incorporate vegetables into your daily meals.
The Berry Beets salad kit contains green cabbage, red beets, kale, broccoli, pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries and a strawberry and Greek yogurt dressing.
The Country Dijon salad kit contains red cabbage, carrots, green cabbage, kale, sunflower seeds, raisins and a delicious honey Dijon dressing.
The Tex-Mex-inspired Salsa Ranch salad kit contains carrots, red cabbage, green cabbage and kale complemented by a creamy salsa dressing and crunchy BBQ corn nuts.

A 100%-vegetable alternative to pasta
Florette expands its product range with three kinds of vegetable fettuccines: beet, carrot and turnip. Whether used as a side dish or main course, Florette fettuccine is cooked in the same way as pasta and lets you add an additional portion of vegetables to your meal. Served in a tomato cream, Bolognese or pesto sauce, these veggie strips provide a guiltless and gluten-free option.
Each package contains three to four portions. The retail price is $3.49.
