Duda to debut Dandy Simple Salad in Seconds
Duda Farm Fresh Foods will unveil its new Dandy Simple Salad in Seconds at the PMA Foodservice Conference and Expo in Booth No. 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 eight-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,” Rick Alcocer, senior vice president of fresh sales, said in a press release. “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 one of the large growers and processors 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 foodservice 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 & Expo, including radishes and citrus. On 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.
Fisher has more than 20 years experience as a culinary veteran, restaurateur and food consultant. He’s worked with Duda for more than 10 years and specializes in culinary education and entertainment. Last year he won the chef demo recipe contest at the conference using Duda fresh celery and radishes.
