THE SKINNY: Dole has doled out a new bagged salad. Pardon, a Premium Kit.

This one is the Spinach Miso Crunch salad, featuring a mix of baby spinach, baby red chard and carrots. The kit comes with a package of Japanese miso dressing, as well as a package of cashews, sliced almonds and wonton strips for crunch. Just open, stir, eat.

We found the Spinach Miso Crunch Salad vegetables fresh and the dressing with ginger and sesame notes lively. The crisp add-ins added textural interest (and calories; we'd bet most come from the nuts and wontons). We could see also adding cooked chicken — and maybe a few sliced scallions — and elevating it to a work lunch or light dinner.

Spinach Miso Crunch? Me so impressed.
