Salad greens fresh, dressing disappoints

RUSH-HOUR REMEDIES

December 15, 1999|By Joanne E. Morvay

* Item: Dole Great Restaurant Salads

* What you get: 2 1/2 servings

* Cost: About $3

* Preparation time: Open bag and serve

* Review: I'm definitely a fan of pre-cut salad greens. But I'm not sure these new bagged salads from Dole are worth the price. The Triple Cheese Toss consisted of mixed greens with a small envelope of grated cheese you could just as easily come up with yourself -- even if it was pre-grated from a can in your refrigerator. No other dressing was included. The Mediterranean Marinade offered a similar mix of greens with a dressing spiked with peppers and mushrooms that honestly tasted more like a thick marinade. The dressing proved an odd contrast, considering how fresh the greens were. And it wasn't close to any dressing I've ever had in a restaurant.
