Feature Clean-Label Ingredients To Drive Salad Sales

July 2, 2020

30840_TMarz_Informa_FSHeaderv2_comp-750x335_comp

Consumers want more healthful menu items and real ingredients

The clean-label trend is booming right now, as consumers opt for foods that contain no artificial colors, flavorings or preservatives. The evolving better-for-you dietary scene also encompasses the growing popularity of plant-based, organic and gluten-free foods. Not surprisingly, few menu items suggest healthful eating more than salads, and operators who emphasize clean-label ingredients have the opportunity to make these leafy greens even more appealing while they drive sales.

According to the IFIC Foundation’s 2019 Food and Health Survey, when asked whether they followed any specific diet or eating pattern over the past year, 38 percent of those individuals polled replied “yes,” up from 36 percent in 2018. The survey also found that “clean eating” ranked as the most widely cited diet at 10 percent, followed by intermittent fasting at 9 percent and then gluten-free and low-carb, both at 6 percent.

The Challenge

Fresh, colorful salads can be the perfect menu option for today’s health-minded consumers, but operators must make sure every ingredient fits the no-chemicals definition.

“The biggest clean-label challenges when it comes to salads are the dressings, protein and crunchy toppings like croutons,” says Amy Myrdal Miller, president of Farmer’s Daughter Consulting in Carmichael, California. “Of these three, protein is the biggest challenge. Watch out for sodium-pumped poultry, nitrates in bacon, antibiotics in frozen shrimp or coatings and batters on fried chicken.”

But salad dressings can also present the same sort of challenge whether the dressing is added by the guest, or the kitchen or service staff. Consumers want to know what is in the dressing, so one solution is to offer it in individual packages, with the ingredients printed on the label. These single-serve containers also address another important trend — customization. Diners can add as much or as little dressing as they choose.

Announce the Clean Label

Manufacturers recognize the importance of calling attention to the all-natural and chemical-free attributes of foods. According to Innova Market Insights, 28 percent of global food and beverage launches in 2018 featured one or more clean-label claims, such as natural, organic, no additives/preservatives and GMO-free. In the U.S., the rate was higher at 39 percent of all launches. Innova also points out that the most common attribute is no additives or preservatives, with 20 percent of new product launches in the U.S. making that claim.

Foodservice operators employ menus, salad bar signage, social media and other messaging to emphasize their clean-label offerings.

“Consumers may not see package labels to determine if they can recognize every ingredient, but there are keywords that give the impression of clean, including fresh, local, housemade, artisan and hand-crafted,” Myrdal Miller says. “Play up what you make in house, what’s sourced locally and what you’re most proud of, and your salad program will do well.”

Stick with Favorites

Diners want clean-label versions of their favorite foods, including dressings. Ranch dressing is always popular, so much so that 44 percent of all consumers polled eat it at least once a week, according to Datassential’s February 2019 Foodbytes: Condiments, Sauces & Dressings Keynote Report. In addition, Datassential found that 59 percent of consumers polled say they would be more likely to buy — or even pay more — for clean-label salad dressings.

Ranch is one of several flavors in the Marzetti® Simply Dressed® line of clean-label dressings. Guests do not have to sacrifice flavor with Simply Dressed dressings. They are consumers’ number one choice for great taste, according to a test comparing Simple Dressed Italian and Caesar dressings to Ken’s Essentials, conducted by Spencer Research. The dressings contain no high-fructose corn syrup, preservatives, artificial flavors and soybean oil. They are also gluten-free. In addition to the 32-ounce bottles and back-of-the-house gallons, the dressings are also available in single-serve packets and cups. The flavor lineup includes:

  • Blue Cheese
  • Italian Vinaigrette
  • Caesar
  • Ranch
  • Honey Mustard
  • Balsamic Vinaigrette

Whether it’s a premium leafy green bowl from the trendiest restaurant concept or a simple fresh salad to complement other menu items, salads can present the quintessential clean-label offering. If the salad dressing also contains no artificial ingredients, that can make the menu item even more appealing to health-minded consumers and a solid traffic builder for savvy foodservice operators.

The sweet life of sweet potatoes

September 30, 2019

shutterstock_139032221_SMALL

Our relationship with sweet potatoes used to be a strictly annual affair. We’d trot them out for Thanksgiving, sometimes even with the indignity of a gooey marshmallow topping, and then we’d expect them to be quiet and go away until next year. We never seemed to realize what we were missing.

Things are certainly different now. The once-humble spud is now king of the potato kingdom, showing up in everything from creamy, dreamy breakfast smoothies to namaste-worthy Buddha bowls. And they’re a preferred shareable side when someone at the table wants to eat healthy(ish).

Where they’re grown

Check the label on your next shipment of sweet potatoes, and odds are good they’ll have a North Carolina point of origin. While there are many growers throughout the south and as far afield as California and Hawaii, the Tar Heel State is No. 1 in sweet potato-production, with more than 400 growers supplying nearly 60 percent of the United States’ supply.

Varieties to consider

One of the most possible varieties is the garnet yam, which was cultivated from a Korean variety. They have a dark red skin and a creamy interior. Purple Okinawan sweet potatoes (also known as Stokes Purples) make a striking visual impression as a side dish or grain bowl topper. They’re denser and drier than conventional sweet potatoes, and so cooking time may be a little bit longer.

Pairings and prep

Toasted pecans are a favorite pairing with a sweet potato dish, as are dried cranberries. More adventurous offerings might include trendy mix-ins like sriracha, bourbon – or both. (See recipe below.)

For gluten free and vegan diners, sweet potato “toast” is thin-sliced pre-roasted ovals that can be used as an alternative to bread for mini sandwiches or crostini. Sweet potato pizza crusts have also been popping up as a gluten-free alternative.

If you’ve got a spiralizer in house, consider breaking it out to curl up some sweet potato scroodles. And don’t forget that these tubers are great for desserts, too. They’re showing up in baked goods, ice creams and in sweet potato pie and its many variation.

Bring on the breadless sandwiches

September 9, 2019

shutterstock_1113471530_SMALL

Nifty new ideas used to be called “the greatest thing since sliced bread.” If current trends are any indicator, we may soon be describing ingenious inventions as “the greatest things since lettuce cups.”

Bread is being pushed off the sandwich board, as diners opt for their favorite fillings to be snuggled inside—or rolled into—a sturdy lettuce holder. It’s a turn of events that would certainly surprise John Montagu, fourth Earl of Sandwich. (He’s the guy who invented the sandwich in 1762 as a way to get a quick meal while gambling.)

But for today’s low carb and gluten free diners, a slab of roast beef slapped between two pieces of white bread just won’t do. They want chicken patties presented between leaves of Little Gem lettuces, paleo hamburgers nestled between slices of sweet potato “bun,” or seafood salads served in iceberg lettuce cups.

Get started

If you’d like to try offering up a breadless sandwich or wrap option on your menu, there are a few things you’ll want to keep in mind. First, select large and flexible leaves of lettuce. After a thorough washing of the greens, be sure to dry them very well to keep them from diluting your filling mixture.

Popular varieties for wraps include Bibb, RomaCruch and Little Gem. If you need something sturdier for a low-carb burrito, consider using collard greens or other sturdy greens. If you’re seeking to create cups, iceberg, red lettuce or radicchio leaves are good options.

Anything you’re using as a dip or sandwich filling can work with breadless options, as well. Since this is a type of dish that will appeal to more health-conscious diners, you’ll want to keep those fillings on the lighter side. Be sure to include at least one option that’s plant-based.

Simply Dressed

The perfect complements for breadless sandwiches are T. Marzetti Simply Dressed® dressings. They’re all made with a minimal number of all-natural, simple ingredients, such as extra virgin olive oil, canola oil and sea salt, and they all pair well with crunchy toppers. Choose from Blue Cheese, Caesar, Cole Slaw, Cucumber Ranch, Lemon Vinaigrette, Pomegranate Vinaigrette, Ranch, Strawberry Poppyseed Vinaigrette. Or try Simply 60™ Apple Cider Vinaigrette, Balsamic Vinaigrette, Buttermilk Ranch, Creamy Caesar, Garlic Parmesan or Red Wine Italian Vinaigrette. Wondering which greens go best with which dressing?

Who let the starch out? Fresh takes on pasta

September 3, 2019

shutterstock_1260508390_SMALL

These days, pasta (or should we say “pasta”?) is being made with everything from seafood to beans to quinoa—and everything in between. As they look over menus and see all sorts of new ways to eat something fresh and tasty that’s still in the basic shape of a noodle, diners couldn’t be more pleased. They love finding new twists on old favorites, and standard flour-and-water-only varieties now are making room on the plate for pasta made from a host of innovative ingredients and add-ins.

Miraculous yams

Shirataki noodles are made from yam starch. Called “miracle noodles,” these translucent, gelatinous strands are made from the konjac yam (also called devil’s tongue yam or elephant yam). For health-conscious diners, they’re of special interest, because they’re very low in digestible carbohydrates and calories. But they have purely culinary, not nutritional benefits, as well, since their bland flavor allows them to pick up the flavors of whatever sauce they’re in. Check the Sichuan-style shirataki noodle salad recipe below to get started.

Other non-traditional pastas rely on legumes and pulses, like black bean spaghetti, chickpea pasta or red lentil pasta. They’re naturally high in protein and fiber, and all are gluten free. Chefs are finding they take well to any highly flavorful sauce, as in the black bean pasta with roasted summer vegetables and goat cheese recipe from the San Francisco Chronicle below.

Probiotic pasta

Pasta is even getting in on the fermentation craze. Louisville, Kentucky chef, Max Balliet of Pizza Lupo serves Fermented Jalapeño Farfalle. The pasta is made with semolina flour, egg and liquid from lacto-fermented jalapeño. The finished noodles are then mixed with pasta water, housemade chickpea-miso compound butter, Benton’s country ham and fresh corn.

Another pasta trend–superfast prep from T. Marzetti®

Every second counts in a busy kitchen, so using T. Marzetti’s super-speedy frozen pasta will help you plate up pasta dishes in record time. Our pasta products are made from the finest ingredients, then frozen fresh for maximum flavor retention. The pasta can go directly from the freezer into boiling water, and it’s ready to serve in about 30 seconds. It looks fresh, tastes delicious and gives you time to keep up the pace throughout service.

Keep the crunch in your salads with these popular toppers

August 19, 2019

shutterstock_594448508_SMALL

As diners continue to seek out the freshest, tastiest salad offerings they can find, they’re showing genuine appreciation for the tasty elements that balance out a perfect salad. Offering the highest-quality ingredients, the best-tasting dressings and the crunchiest, most delicious salad toppings. Marzetti has you covered in every aspect of creating a salad home run.

Make your own crunch with chana chor

One easy-to-make and inexpensive topper is crunchy garbanzo beans, which fulfills diners’ desire for a more plant-based proteins and their increasing interest in globally conscious dining, all in one simple dish. While the chickpea is popular in a number of different cuisines, including Indian, Turkish, Ethiopian, Middle Eastern, Greek, Italian and Spanish, the U.S. historically has been slow to get on the chickpea bandwagon.

That’s changed with the rapid adoption of a traditional Indian street food called chana chor, which are nothing more than chickpeas tossed in oil and seasonings, then baked until crispy. Packages of roasted chickpeas are easy to order in, but you also can make your own fresh version quite easily. Check out the recipe section below to get started.

Get nutty and feeling fruitastic

Nuts and seeds, both increasingly popular sources of protein are growing in popularity as salad toppers. Try ordering in a big bunch and toasting them lightly to bring out the flavors and aromatic oils. They also will keep quite a while in your freezer. Consider topping your next salad special with almonds, chia seeds, toasted quinoa, “popped” sorghum, hemp seeds, corn nuts, sunflower seeds or pepitas.

On the sweet side, shelf-stable options for crunchy toppers include dried fruit or banana chips. Check out this recent post on the popularity of fruit in salads.

Don’t forget leftovers

Did you precook too much bacon for brunch? Are you stuck with a few extra loaves of bread? Make your own bacon bits or croutons, and you’ll have a head start on crunchy toppings. If you’re overloaded with parmesan cheese, making small crisps as a “cracker” to top a salad can be a savory, umami-rich way to balance milder veggies with richer flavor notes.

Time for Simply Dressed

No matter what’s topping your salads, you’ll want to dress them right, and there’s no better way to do that than by choosing Marzetti Simply Dressed® dressings. They’re all made with a minimal number of all-natural, simple ingredients, such as extra virgin olive oil, canola oil and sea salt, and they all pair well with crunchy toppers.
