Available starting today at supermarkets nationwide, Dole’s newest kit features a blend of bold, tender baby kale, spinach and crunchy shredded broccoli combined with shaved Parmesan-Romano cheeses, roasted garlic croutons and Dole’s popular Caesar dressing. It becomes the fifth member of the Dole Caesar family, joining the Caesar, Garlic Caesar, Ultimate Caesar and Light Caesar kits. Like all Dole salad kits, DOLE ® Kale Caesar™ Kit is all-natural, and contains no artificial colors, flavors or ingredients.
The DOLE ® All Natural Kale Caesar™ Kit is one of a number of new Dole salad products specifically formulated with kale, the increasingly popular, nutrient rich green that combines a bold, delicious taste with vitamins A, C, K, calcium, antioxidants and phytonutrients.

“The DOLE ® Kale Caesar™ Kit delivers a taste-first experience that is feel-good, too,” Eriksson said. “Super greens nutrition never tasted so good.”
