Haven Greens Debuts the ​​Crunch Salad Kits Made with Ontario-Grown Greens

Haven Greens has expanded its product portfolio with a new line of ready-to-eat Crunch Salad Kits available in three flavor varieties. Designed for convenience, the boxed kits eliminate the need for washing, chopping, or additional preparation.

Each salad kit is produced using pesticide-free greens grown in Ontario and paired with high-quality toppings, chef-inspired dressings, and added protein to enhance freshness, texture, and flavor.

The Caesar Crunch variety reimagines the traditional Caesar salad with shaved Parmesan, roasted chickpeas, crouton crumbles, and a smooth, balanced Caesar dressing. Fiesta Crunch delivers a more robust flavour profile featuring Cotija cheese, tortilla strips, sweet corn, and smoky chipotle dressing. Meanwhile, Sesame Crunch combines crispy wontons, roasted edamame, sliced almonds, and sesame ginger dressing for a lighter yet satisfying option.

The new product line is currently available through select Ontario retailers, including Summerhill Market and Fortinos, as well as Calgary Co-op locations in Calgary
