Usage: The mixed salad pack can be consumed fresh from the packaging. However, several precautionary steps must be taken if it was frozen instead of refrigerated. Begin by letting the packaged mixed salad soften and thaw for 8 to 12 hours overnight inside the refrigerator. You are strongly advised against taking a shortcut for this procedure as attempting to speed up the salad defrosting process may lead to sickness in the near future such as foodborne illness after consuming it. Storing the mixed leaf salad in the freezer may cause internal packaging frost to build up. Moisture from the built-up frost melted at room temperature or hot water can cause bacteria growth to speed up significantly. Harmful bacteria such as E. coli found in green leaves could cause severe health problems if improperly stored mixed leaf salad is consumed. After inspecting and ensuring that the mixed salad pack does not contain mould, discoloration, odd smells, or weird tastes, it can be eaten straight out of the packaging in a salad bowl or included in another recipe.
If you are just beginning to integrate packed mixed vegetables into your diet for its nutrients, several recipes can make the dish more appetizing and flavorful to ease it into your everyday meals. Firstly, several dressings that should match well with your salad like thousand island and French dressing. These will add a savory taste to a rather bland and minty meal. To add depth to the texture of the mixed salad pack, it is easy to use them as an ingredient for every day servings. Packed mixed salad is a great ingredient to add to your tortilla wraps. As you use minced beef or stripped chicken as the core of your wrap’s flavor, add the mixed salad pack into the wrap’s fillings before folding your tortilla and burning where the two ends of the tortilla meet. This will add a crispy and crunchy texture to the chewy and soft texture of the dish fillings.
