Why Choose Our Salad Kits
Complete meals in a clamshell — fresh, fast, and full of flavor.
Today’s consumers want more than leafy greens — they want bold flavors, satisfying textures, and clean label convenience. At Allways Think Fresh, our salad kits deliver all that and more. Each kit includes washed greens, pre-cut vegetables, dressings, cheeses, and crunchy toppings, all packed for freshness and built to sell.
From single-serve retail clamshells to bulk kits for commissary kitchens, we support both grab-and-go programs and foodservice assembly lines with products that are easy to stock, prep, and love. Whether it’s a Caesar, a Spinach Strawberry Poppyseed, or a custom seasonal blend, our salad kits are designed to be craveable, consistent, and operationally simple.
