OVIEDO, FL – Duda Farm Fresh Foods will unveil its new Dandy® Simple Salad in Seconds at the PMA Foodservice Conference and Expo in booth #137.
Dandy® Simple Salad in Seconds, available now for foodservice customers, is petite heads of red and green frisee lettuce or red and green butter lettuce packed in an 8-pound carton.
The product features a variety pack of versatile petite lettuce heads with the textures that make culinary creations shine. In addition, the mild flavors of the lettuce heads lend to a multitude of pairings with proteins, dressings and other toppings.
“The beauty of the petite heads for foodservice operators is that it saves so much time; you just have to wash, rinse, and make one cut and you’re ready to toss,” said Rick Alcocer, senior vice president of fresh sales. “The leaves are the perfect size and shape for quick salads, wraps and lettuce cups.”
With nearly 90 years of growing experience, Duda Farm Fresh Foods is the largest grower and processor of celery in the United States and around the world. Duda’s fresh-cut celery products are marketed under the Dandy® brand and sold and served in retail and food service establishments throughout North America year round. But the company also grows and sells other items, such as lettuce, in different areas around the country to provide its customers with regional availability.
The company’s full line of foodservice items will be on display during the PMA Foodservice Conference and Expo including radishes and citrus at the show on Sat., July 24, and Sunday, July 25, in the company’s booth #137.
Then, on Sat., July 25, Chef Todd Fisher will be making Tandoori Spiced Chicken Breast Salad with a Tahini-Cumin Dressing featuring Dandy® Simple Salad in Seconds with Clementines and radishes at the new Strolling Chefs event at the conference.
