Ready Pac Foods Debuts Limited-Edition Fall Bistro Bowl and Salad Kit

Ready Pac Foods has debuted two new Limited Edition products: Pumpkin Spice Bistro Bowl single-serve salad and Autumn Harvest Complete Salad Kit. The offerings give consumers the indulgent, autumn flavors they are looking for in a healthier, convenient way, say company officials.

"We know consumers look forward to indulging in pumpkin spice flavored foods during the fall, but this often means a sugary or sweet treat," says Tristan Simpson, chief marketing officer at Ready Pac Foods. "Our culinary team crafted craveably fresh options to give consumers something healthier to enjoy, but still delight in the flavors of the season."

The Pumpkin Spice Bistro Bowl single-serve salad is a blend of harvest spring mix, roasted turkey, raisins, pepitas and dates, topped off with a light pumpkin vinaigrette with a hint of cloves, nutmeg and cinnamon. With 11-grams of protein and four grams of fiber, the flavorful salad is only 330 calories and perfect for an on-the-go meal at a game, on a hike or in the office.

The Autumn Harvest Complete Salad Kit, is a blend of spring mix and carrots, topped with crunchy roasted pumpkin seeds, diced dates, raisins and pumpkin-spiced cornbread croutons, all dressed with a tangy pumpkin vinaigrette. This chef-inspired, restaurant-style salad kit fulfills consumers' craving for an indulgent, holiday-flavored salad. This salad kit is perfect as a side dish at your fall dinner party or tailgate at the game. For a more satisfying option, simply add roasted turkey for a quick meal.

The two limited-time offerings join several other Ready Pac Foods year-round favorites, also sure to satisfy consumers craving for fall flavors, including: Bistro Bowl Single-Serve Salads, ElevĀte Organic Salads and Ready Snax Snack Packs.
