Dole Cole Slaw

Dole Cole Slaw (14 oz) is the sort of refrigerated, ready-to-use shredded cabbage and carrot mix you find in the produce or prepared-salad aisle of a typical American supermarket. You'd spot it chilled alongside bagged salad greens, shredded carrots, and other “ready-to-eat” slaws and salad kits—often near refrigerated dips, pre-made potato salads, and rotisserie chickens. It fits quick-week dinner runs, last-minute picnic or barbecue shopping, and meal-prep Sunday lists: a simple side for burgers and grilled chicken or a crunchy base for slaw-topped tacos and sandwiches. As a Dole product, its brand positioning leans on mainstream, family-friendly produce credibility—trusted, widely distributed, marketed as fresh and convenient to busy shoppers who want a wholesome-looking option without extra prep. Packaging typically features clear plastic or a sealed tub with simple type and bright photography; labels emphasize “washed,” “ready to eat,” and show ingredient simplicity rather than claims like organic or non-GMO unless specified. There’s a mild health-halo: low calories (20 per serving), low sodium (15 mg) and modest natural sugars (3 g) from carrots, but no obvious child-targeted characters or indulgent language. In plain processing terms this is minimally processed—washed, trimmed and shredded, then refrigerated. Sensory details: crisp, watery crunch from pale green cabbage with sweet, firm orange carrot strands; cool and clean tasting, providing a crunchy counterpoint to creamy dressings or smoky mains. Rituals involve tossing with mayo or vinaigrette, spooning onto picnic plates, or layering into sandwiches—quick, familiar, and quietly utilitarian in American grocery culture.
