Salata Salad Kitchen is helping you cool off this summer with two tasty new watermelon options: the new Baja Watermelon Salad and a Fresh Watermelon side dish option.
Perfect for the hottest months of the year, both of Salata's new watermelon options are cool and refreshing. The new Baja Watermelon Salad is made from Salata Mix, along with beets, edamame, cilantro, feta cheese, fresh watermelon, and a tangy lemon vinaigrette dressing. Consumers can also add Spicy Chipotle Shrimp on top for some extra protein. If you're looking for even more watermelon goodness, you can add Fresh Watermelon to any entree as a fresh and healthy side dish option. As Michele Maerz, President of Salata Salad Kitchen, explains, "At Salata Salad Kitchen, we take pride in crafting unique offerings that our guests will enjoy, and this seasonal favorite does just that.”
