This salad blend is truly an all-American favorite! Mild and crispy iceberg and romaine combine with a riot of color and taste from sweet carrots, tangy red cabbage and zesty radishes. American Blend is particularly tasty with a traditional creamy dressing such as ranch or blue cheese.

How To Store
DOLE American Blend should be kept refrigerated at home in its original bag. The bag is made of specially designed film to keep the salad fresh. Store the salad in the refrigerator crisper or drawer. Store leftovers in the original bag, tightly closed, in the refrigerator.
How To Select
Purchase DOLE American Blend in the refrigerated area of the supermarket's produce section. If salads are not kept under refrigeration, it will affect the product quality.
On the front of each package, the salad is stamped with an "ENJOY BY" date that should give you at least a few days to store after purchased. The salad is packaged in a see-through bag. When purchasing a salad, check the date stamped on the package and look at the salad to make sure it appears fresh. Do not purchase salads with a considerable number of brown-edged lettuce pieces or if the lettuce appears excessively wet.
Usage Tips
DOLE American Blend is triple washed and ready-to-eat. As a result, it is not necessary to wash the salad prior to eating. Nevertheless, rinsing your salad again will not damage the lettuce in any way.
After tossing with your favorite vinaigrette dressing try adding: canned black beans or kidney beans or chopped tomatoes, sliced mushrooms and cucumber, or broccoli or cauliflower florets.
