What You Should Know

Dole Chopped Kit — Chophouse Crunch arrives as a neatly portioned 10.10 oz refrigerated salad kit that you’d spot in the produce aisle or the refrigerated prepared salads section, shelved alongside other bagged lettuces and meal kits. The clear plastic clamshell displays bright romaine, green cabbage, carrots and kale while a sealed pouch holds a creamy, tangy dressing and separate packets of crispy onion strings, sliced almonds, and sweet corn. It’s marketed to time-poor shoppers: singles, busy parents, and office workers who want a restaurant-style salad without dining out. Packaging leans on a fresh-and-natural aesthetic — visible veggies, the Dole name and “chopped” language — but it contains convenience-focused label cues like “natural flavors” and ingredient callouts rather than organic or non-GMO certifications. The product reads as a quick, slightly upscale lunch or light dinner choice for meal-prep Sundays, weekend brunch spreads or game-day grazing tables. In plain processing terms this is a mixed-product: mostly fresh-cut vegetables combined with a formulated dressing and flavored, shelf-stable toppings. Sensory cues: crisp, juicy greens and crunchy cabbage, a creamy, tangy buttermilk-parmesan dressing, sweet bursts of corn, smoky dry-roasted almonds and ultra-crispy fried onion strings that add a salty, crunchy contrast. Rituals around use include shaking the dressing pouch, tossing everything together in the clamshell or at home in a bowl, and serving as a quick solo meal, lunch by the desk, or a shared side for casual entertaining. Nutrition highlights — about 150 calories, 230 mg sodium and 3 g sugars — support its positioning as a lighter yet indulgent convenience option.
