Dole Shredded Lettuce

Dole Shredded Lettuce (8 oz) is the familiar, refrigerated bag of pre-washed iceberg you’ll find tucked into the produce section alongside other bagged greens and pre-cut salad mixes. Look for it near the salad kits, spinach, and romaine hearts — often in a chilled shelf with clear plastic packaging that lets the pale green, shredded ribbons show through. It’s marketed for quick salads, taco nights, sandwiches, and as a crunchy garnish for weeknight dinners, fitting into grocery runs that prioritize speed and simplicity: last-minute dinner stops, meal-prep Sundays, or stock-ups for casual party spreads. Dole’s brand positioning leans on mainstream trustworthiness and convenience — a family-friendly, widely distributed label that appeals to budget-minded health seekers and busy households. Packaging and labels typically highlight “pre-washed,” “ready-to-eat,” and “fresh” cues, offering a health-halo of convenience without bells like child-focused characters or organic certification on every package (organic versions may exist separately). In plain terms, the product is minimally processed: the whole iceberg heads are washed, shredded, and chilled before packing, with no added ingredients. Sensory notes: cool, crisp, and watery with a mild, neutral flavor and a light, crunchy texture that snaps in your mouth; visually it’s pale green to almost white. Rituals around it are simple — open the bag, scatter over a bowl, top tacos, or layer into sandwiches. The 8 oz format speaks to single-meal use or small family portions, making it a dependable, practical staple in American grocery culture where convenience and familiarity drive everyday food choices.
